It is hard to parse the last sentence. What about "Keep the domU version
for the compatible as it is simpler: do not copy platform's
'compatible' property into hwdom device tree, instead set either
arm,armv7-timer or arm,armv8-timer, depending on the platform type." ?

As I said in the previous version, you are wasting stack space
there. Also, this is misleading. When I see array of 4 items, I expect
that all 4 items will be used. But you are using only 3, so it leads to
two conclusions: either you made a mistake, or I don't understand what
it happening. Either option is bad.

Both cases bear the same piece of code:
     if ( res )
           return res;

You can move it out of outer "if". This will make code shorter and
simpler.

Missing full stop at the end of the last sentence.

Why are you using plain indexes for intrs[] and enums for irq[]?
