Let's just put one complete example in instead of all these duplicated

The interrupt controller doesn't require any clocks?

I think you should drop this node and make the parent node the interrupt
controller. That is the normal pattern where the parent node handles
all the common functions. Otherwise, there is no need to have the parent
node. You should then also drop simple-mfd as then you can control
initialization order by initializing interrupt controller before
its clients.

Is this copy-n-paste or you really have 2 nodes at the same address? The
latter is not valid.

Thinking about this some more... You simply have 8 timers (and no other
functions?) with some internal clock and irq controls for each timer. I
don't think it really makes sense to create separate clock and irq
drivers in that case. That would be like creating clock drivers for
every clock divider in timers, pwms, uarts, etc. Unless the clocks get
exposed to other parts of the system, then there is no point.
