Exactly. Effectively, the TIMCLKENx are just dividers of the clock input.

No. I'm simply swapping which timer is used for clksrc vs. clkevt based
on the irq connection DT describes. If only timer 2's irq being hooked
up, then timer 2 is the clkevt. Otherwise I always use timer 1 for the
clkevt because I either have a combined interrupt or timer 1 interrupt
hooked up.

Perhaps re-writing it like this would be more clear:

if (irq_num == 2){
	__sp804_clockevents_init(base + TIMER_2_BASE, irq, clk1, name);
	__sp804_clocksource_and_sched_clock_init(base, name, clk0, 1);
} else {
	__sp804_clockevents_init(base, irq, clk0, name);
	__sp804_clocksource_and_sched_clock_init(base + TIMER_2_BASE,
						name, clk1, 1);
}
