I think you are right. However, examining your problem I checked that
the i.MX35 timer functions are quite different compared to  other i.MX
processors (mX31 and MX5). There is no good reason to make things
different and I think we should refactor this code containing the timer
functions for the i.MX35 (and better having one single file with the
i.MX31 code).
