I guess you wanted to say QEMU uses "arm,armv8-timer" followed by
"arm,armv7-timer", because otherwise I would understand it that either
that or that. Anyway, is it a valid (virtualized) hardware? Is ARMv8
timer really, really compatible with ARMv7 one?

I don't think we should document invalid setups out-of-tree, just
because they are there, and something like this was also expressed by Rob:
