I must say, there was a gap in my understanding of the comment.
So, here is the implementation change:
-> Call omap2_dm_timer_early_init(u8 gptimer_id) from omap2_gp_timer_init()
-> Initialize only gptimer_id inside this function
-> In the regular init skip initialization of gptimer_id
As a result of this, we can rid of double registration and related code.

I agree with Tony. We can still registers only the system
timer because the timer ID is known well before we do
initialization.

May be I was not clear in my explanation.
Yes, you are right, the system timer gets reserved early and initialized.
Later it is NOT initialized again.

You can still do it, just register the one that's being used and mark
it reserved so it won't get initialized again later on.

So, that is how it was at the beginning.
Later we realized different platforms can use different timers for this.
For example, beagle uses GPT12. Therefore, as part of one of the comments,
We decided to provide flexibility so that any of the timers could be used.

[PATCH v11 6/8] dmtimer: switch-over to platform device driver
switch-over to platform device driver through following changes:
(a) initiate dmtimer early initialization from omap2_gp_timer_init()
in timer-gp.c. This is equivalent of timer_init()->timer->init().
(b) modify plat-omap/dmtimer routines to use new register map and
platform data.
