Not all platforms provide the same set of timers/interrupts, and Linux
only needs one (plus kvm/guest ones); some platforms are working around
this by using dummy fake interrupts. Implementing interrupt-names allows
the devicetree to specify an arbitrary set of available interrupts, so
the timer code can pick the right one.
This also adds the hyp-virt timer/interrupt, which was previously not
expressed in the fixed 4-interrupt form.
