This seems like it's just hiding a bug somewhere else.  We should at least
put
out a WARN here, as I'm not sure the error will propagate anywhere useful.


We need separate DT node for riscv_timer. The riscv_timer is nothing but
SOC timer accessed via rdtime and SBI calls. It can be viewed as one
device. In fact, this is how it's done in ARM/ARM64.

We had that at some point, but this was changed. The logic was that, since the RISC-V ISA mandates the presence of this timer for all harts, the RISC-V CPU node is sufficient to encode the presence of a RISC-V timer.

I'm OK changing this, but you should look at the old thread (which I can't find) to make sure all the arguments are taken into account.
