Urgh, this is nasty. You are internally remapping the hwirq from one
timer to another in order to avoid accessing the enable register
which happens to be an EL2 only register?

The way we normally deal with this kind of things is by providing a
different set of irq_chip callbacks. In this particular case, this
would leave mask/unmask as empty stubs. Or you could move the FIQ
handling to use handle_simple_irq(), because there isn't any callback
that is actually applicable.

It isn't a big deal for now, but that's something we should consider
addressing in the future. With that in mind:
