The current approach is not to duplicate banked resources. We do not have
duplicated twd-timer nodes on Cortex A9, we do not expose multiple CPU
interfaces for the GIC...

And speaking of the GIC: how do you interpret the CPU mask in the
interrupt field of the timer? The value 0x3xx in the third field is there
to indicate that CPU0 and CPU1 are getting interrupted by the timer. What
does it mean when you duplicate it?
