The timer registers of aclint don't follow the clint layout and can
be mapped on any different offset. As sg2042 uses separated timer
and mswi for its clint, it should follow the aclint spec and have
separated registers.

The previous patch introduces a new type of T-HEAD aclint timer which
has clint timer layout. Although the timer has the clint layout, it
should follow the aclint spec and uses the separated mtime and mtimecmp
regs. So a ABI change is needed to make the timer fit the aclint spec.

To make T-HEAD aclint timer more closer to the aclint spec, use two regs
to represent the mtime and mtimecmp.

The first one is for mtime and the second one is for mtimecmp, right? 
Recommend to add some comment in binding file to make it clear.

Sorry for not noticing that on v1 - you should indeed describe these in
the binding, by using the items property.

Sorry for this, I have seen the v1 and improve the comment of the v2. I
will give a feedback next time. Anyway, thank you for your advice in v1.

Thanks, I will have a try.
