I was hoping that we could avoid adding another property, especially
given that his equivalent to a timer that does not have the
"ti,timer-alwon" property.

Is this is only one not in the wake-up domain?

It seems to me here that we should specify the property "ti,timer-alwon"
for the clocksource and then no property for the clockevent. Hence, may
be the code needs to be adjusted so that if clockevent or clocksource
can use any timer (ie. no property specified), we look for a timer that
has no "ti-timer-xxxx" properties. This will ensure that if we need a
particular timer for clocksource, which we look for after clockevent, it
will be available.
