If the timer itself is different, then you should have a different DT
compatible string which you can use to trigger additional initialization.

Integration level initialization like enabling clocks would need
something different as no machine descriptors exist for arm64.

Another option would be do the setup in secure world or the bootloader.

Can you be more specific what initialization is needed.
