Kernel Commit 25de4ce5ed02 ("clocksource/drivers/timer-ti-dm: Handle
dra7 timer wrap errata i940") states that "There is a timer wrap issue
on dra7 and as a work around, we need to use timer-ti-dm percpu timers
instead. So, configure dmtimer3 and 4 as percpu timers by default." In
this commit, the author has used ti,no-reset-on-init and ti,no-idle quirks.

The sysc_check_active_timer() checks for these quirks and accordingly,
returns EBUSY error if the quirks match. Because of this, the timer
modules fail to probe as can be observed during bootup :"ti-sysc
4882c000.target-module: probe with driver ti-sysc failed with error -16"

Return 'ENXIO' instead of 'EBUSY' for DRA7 SoC, so that the error is set
to ENXIO and the module gets probed under "certain conditions".

Please define, what are "certain conditions".
