I know what you meant now. If using similar way, it seems that we still need the new property in the timer node below.

@timer
{
	pps_channel = 0;
}
I didn't find out the exiting channel related property in the Documentation.

Since there are 4 channels in the PTP timer IP and none of 4 channels
Is now used by now. We can use hardcode to define the default PPS output channel not DT such as 
"#define PPS_COUTPUT_CHANNEL FEC_TIMER_CHANNEL0". 

Thanks
