You just need a single CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE which will be called
twice. On the first call, setup one timer and on the 2nd call setup
the other one. IIRC the sp804 timer has something similar.
You'll need a unit address in the node name to distinguish them.

That shouldn't be documented in the DT at all.

Then you should have the interrupt in the DT anyway.
