No need for that. Keep the system timer code to the minimum so
it does not have any unnecessary dependencies. That code needs to
be running early and efficient, while the other timers should
really be a device driver.
You can have shared timer read/write functions that don't depend
on dev. And you can just tag the pysical timer used for system
timer as reserved.
Then you can initialize the other timers later on and skip the
system timer. For the other timers you can have dev oriented
timer read/write wrapper functions for the other timers.
Cheers,
Tony
