The timer/counter block on the Realtek SoCs provides up to 5 timers. It

One timer will be used per CPU as a local clock event generator. An
additional timer will be used as an overal stable clocksource.

Does the mips arch have a local timer per cpu timer and a broadcast timer already integrated in the GIC ?

I'm far from an expert but as best I can tell no. This SoC doesn't use the mti,gic it uses realtek,rtl-intc instead.
