T-HEAD supporting only 32bit accesses to MTIME and MTIMECMP
registers are totally allowed. The RISC-V privileged specification does
not enforce RV64 platforms to support 64bit accesses to MTIME and
MTIMECMP registers. Also, the ACLINT specification only states
that MTIME and MTIMECMP registers are 64-bit wide but it does
not enforce platforms to support 64-bit accesses.

Here are some discussions from tech-aia mailing list:
https://lists.riscv.org/g/tech-aia/message/115
https://lists.riscv.org/g/tech-aia/message/119
https://lists.riscv.org/g/tech-aia/message/120

In other words, the T-HEAD CLINT (MTIMER+MSWI) is compliant
with the RISC-V ACLINT specification.

I think we should add implementation specific compatible strings
for Allwinner D1 in the ACLINT MTIMER and ACLINT MSWI
DT bindings.

How about including the following two compatible strings in
ACLINT DT bindings ?
allwinner,sun20i-d1-aclint-mtimer
allwinner,sun20i-d1-aclint-mswi
