There are timers on the board. How come it used to work, before the 
commit that breaks it ?

I understand that nobody registers a driver in the UCLASS_TIMER , but 
why was this enforced? and if this enforcement breaks our board, we can 
either:
1/ stop the enforcement
2/ comply

Either way, I think we have to see how we can get one timer to register 
itself as an UCLASS_TIMER

This timer is a new hardware timer which is not present in the sama5d3 SoC.

Sama5d3 should have old PIT timers, (programmable interrupt timer)
and most likely that code has not been converted to DM (UCLASSes)

One possible approach is to convert specific old PIT code to comply with 
DM requirements (or if that code is already available, we have to 
use/enable it ).

I add Claudiu in the mail thread, as he is more familiar with PIT and 
timers than I am, and maybe he has some opinion related to this issue.
