This is a follow up from https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20190227230707.GA28635@xxxxxxxxxxxx/ It appears that the kernel has only ever used timer0 on the orion/kirkwood/armada platforms so timer1 appears to be spare on all of these. Armada-XP and Armada-385 also have timers 2 and 3 which could be used in a similar way if it is deemed that timer1 should be kept for some other purpose.
