I sent a v2 patch set.

I couldn't get qemu to work because Fedora's QEMU is not
up-to-date and I didn't want to venture into compiling from source...

I did the second best and tested Gemini with downward counting
timers, after just adding that as general code path in the driver
in the commit merging the two drivers.

Please test it, and I hope I'm not wasting too much of your time :/

If it still doesn't work I guess I have to try to get qemu going.

The fttmr010 branch in my git is updated:
