This patch needs refreshing, as on master there are more usages of the
symbol that need conversion:

include/configs/qemu-arm.h:#define CONFIG_SYS_ARCH_TIMER
include/configs/stm32h743-disco.h:#define CONFIG_SYS_ARCH_TIMER
include/configs/stm32h743-eval.h:#define CONFIG_SYS_ARCH_TIMER

Otherwise looks good.
