Timer initialization is done during early boot way before the driver
core starts processing devices and drivers. Timers initialized during
this early boot period don't really need or use a struct device.

However, for timers represented as device tree nodes, the struct devices
are still created and sit around unused and wasting memory. This change
avoid this by marking the device tree nodes as "populated" if the
corresponding timer is successfully initialized.
