Sure, I already did it locally after your last review.

I did it like this because I'm reusing the code in
davinci_timer_set_period_std() for both clocksource and clockevent
timers. If you prefer it be split to reuse the clockevent accessors, I
can do this (see below).

What am I assigning the timer for? In order to call
davinci_timer_set_period() on it at the bottom of the init function.
I'm not sure if it is a problem you're pointing out, but as I said
above - I can configure the clocksource timer by hand in the init
function, drop the davinci_timer_clocksource structure and use the
clockevent accessors for checking the clock mode if you prefer it that
way. Would that be fine?

Yes it is, but the already existing DT bindings define two interrupts.
It's true that nobody uses it, but I thought I'd stick with what was
done before. If you prefer that, I can use a single interrupt - and
just ignore the second one defined in DT (and also remove it from the
config structure for board files).
