the rm9200 next release we will have a new timer implementation when the
rm9200 will use the same API as the other at91

btw there is other arch too SH2, nios, ppc, x86 which is listed here

honestly I'll not ack the change otherwise noone will update the timers

as example when working on SH4 this release I've found that they do not have
CONFIG_SYS_HZ at 1000 because of a network problem and then I fix the timer
