target/imx: reload cmp timer outside of the reload ptimer transaction

When running seL4 tests (https://docs.sel4.systems/projects/sel4test)
on the sabrelight platform, the timer tests fail. The arm/imx6 EPIT
timer interrupt does not fire properly, instead of a e.g. second in
can take up to a minute to finally see the interrupt.
