We don't add code for systems that could only hypothetically run
Linux. If and when this becomes possible, we'll add support for
them. In the meantime, I suggest you focus on supporting what actually
works.

You're missing my point. Why are you encoding your timer interrupts
with a hwirq that requires you to skip existing code? If you used the
interrupt number that represent a bare-metal interrupt, you'd be just
fine. Specially considering that the interrupt numbers in the DT are
nothing but made-up numbers, as there is no interrupt controller to
speak of.

Again, you have the wrong end of the stick, and this is about changing
your DT rather than the driver.

What I would like to see is a different compatibility string that
makes the support for a given IP explicit instead of making everything
implicit.
