Having proper/fixed (old style) timer code will make it easier to convert to new style afterwards.
From my point of view this is similar to rule "don't mix coding style with functional changes".
Well the very same bug is present in OMAP1 and OMAP2 timer code, so you'll end fixing copied&paste code for no good reason. At least cpu/arm925t/interrupts.c and cpu/arm926ejs/omap/timer.c deserves the same fix [*] you sent for OMAP3 code. So what about merging that timer code first and then fixing it?

[*] I have local fix for cpu/arm925t/interrupts.c, but since those copy&pasted files started diverging just because each of us cares about different piece of hardware, I do not want to make situation even worse.
