I tried but There are so many functions which need "notrace".

Why don’t we consider removing gd->timer=NULL in initr_dm()
initr_dm()
{
#ifdef CONFIG_TIMER
         gd->timer = NULL;
#endif
}

Or I can use TIMER_EARLY and return ticks and rate  by adding timer_early_get_count()
and timer_early_get_rate() repectively.

Suggestions are welcome
