We can't use timer in secure region. This SMC code is resident in
onchip memory (secure region) while Linux is running.
So, timer might be used by Linux.

These functions needed for normal U-boot and SMC (secure section in
OCM) and we need to copy the whole function to secure section, not
just the API call.
This also avoid code duplication for U-boot and SMC.
