It is possible in case of the VE platform. Therefore it is not
completely impossible. QED :-)

If you tell the system that only TIMINT1 is wired, it shouldn't even try
to use the second timer for anything that would require the interrupt.
Therefore, describing the hardware sufficiently, you're giving the
system enough information to make the right decisions.

I'm convinced it does not *must* be there. I think it *can* be there,
for platforms where the available timers are not equal (for whatever
reason). My point is: why are you trying to force me to put some
information into my hardware description which doesn't have any meaning
for me?
Pawe?
