Yes, the GIC is declared in arch/arm/boot/dts/r8a7740.dtsi:

gic: interrupt-controller@c2800000 {
compatible = "arm,cortex-a9-gic";
#interrupt-cells = <3>;
interrupt-controller;
reg = <0xc2800000 0x1000>,
<0xc2000000 0x1000>;
};

The timers come from legacy C board code in
arch/arm/mach-shmobile/setup-r8a7740.c:

/* CMT */
static struct sh_timer_config cmt1_platform_data = {
.channels_mask = 0x3f,
};

static struct resource cmt1_resources[] = {
DEFINE_RES_MEM(0xe6138000, 0x170),
DEFINE_RES_IRQ(gic_spi(58)),
};

static struct platform_device cmt1_device = {
.name = "sh-cmt-48",
.id = 1,
.dev = {
.platform_data = &cmt1_platform_data,
},
.resource = cmt1_resources,
.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(cmt1_resources),
};

/* TMU */
static struct sh_timer_config tmu0_platform_data = {
.channels_mask = 7,
};

static struct resource tmu0_resources[] = {
DEFINE_RES_MEM(0xfff80000, 0x2c),
DEFINE_RES_IRQ(gic_spi(198)),
DEFINE_RES_IRQ(gic_spi(199)),
DEFINE_RES_IRQ(gic_spi(200)),
};

static struct platform_device tmu0_device = {
.name = "sh-tmu",
.id = 0,
.dev = {
.platform_data = &tmu0_platform_data,
},
.resource = tmu0_resources,
.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(tmu0_resources),
};

The corresponding r8a7740/armadillo-multiplatform works fine.

Still, I'm wondering why sh73a0/kzm9g-legacy is not impacted by this
change...
