You're letting Linux details define the binding. Are these blocks 
different (the block itself, not connections to the block like 
interrupts)?

If you need a particular timer instance to be used, then describe 
whatever is the difference in the h/w.  For example, the clockevent 
timer has to be the timer with an interrupt.
