Not sure I understand your comment correctly but binding for h616 is already
there:

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/timer/allwinner,sun4i-a10-timer.yaml:21-27
  - items:
    - enum:
        - allwinner,sun20i-d1-timer
        - allwinner,sun50i-a64-timer
        - allwinner,sun50i-h6-timer
        - allwinner,sun50i-h616-timer
    - const: allwinner,sun8i-a23-timer
