For >example, the clockevent timer has to be the timer with an interrupt. Yes, blocks are different. The difference is that only second timer instance are actually producing timer interrupt served by Linux for the clockevent framework. Please note that the numbering used here for timer (i.e. 0 or 1) are derived from HW blocks and are not any Linux detail I used for binding definition (It is a note at this patch set cover letter).
