If the timers are really free for use by anything and you want to
encode how Linux uses them, I would suggest naming the aliases
"linux.clocksource" and "linux,clockevent" to make it clear that
you are not describing the hardware here but rather picking
a configuration.

If the timers are really free for use by anything and you want to
encode how Linux uses them, I would suggest naming the aliases
"linux.clocksource" and "linux,clockevent" to make it clear that
you are not describing the hardware here but rather picking
a configuration.
