I believe that just selects count-width=32 and one-timer-only=0. From
the data sheet, there doesn't appear to be a separate mode-64bit
parameter.

Count width is certainly required so that we can determine the correct
value to program into TLR. For the PWM driver, gen?-assert are required
to determine whether PWM mode is enabled.

These are not currently required by the driver, but might be in the
future if capture mode support is enabled. In general, since these
properties cannot be determined from the hardware, I think they should
be present in the devicetree.

This is just the direct output of Xilinx's generated device tree (but
with address width reduced to 32-bit).
