I'm not 100% sure this is what you mean, but with this change I can disable
CONFIG_SUN4I_TIMER:

diff --git a/arch/riscv/Kconfig.socs b/arch/riscv/Kconfig.socs

        depends on MMU && !XIP_KERNEL
        select ERRATA_THEAD
-       select SUN4I_TIMER
        help
          This enables support for Allwinner sun20i platform hardware,
          including boards based on the D1 and D1s SoCs.


But unfortunately the board still doesn't boot:
