No. According to sparc64/clock.c, U5 actually
doesn't have "counter-timer".

mk48txx is a clock device which keeps "time-of-day" with battery.
"counter-timer" is an interval timer that generates tick interrupts,
which is used to keep running system clock.

These todclock and timer are independent devices,
so sparc64/clock.c should be split into sparc64/clock.c
(which contains todr(9) and timer functions),
dev/mkclock.c, dev/mkclock_sbus.c, dev/mkclock_ebus.c,
and dev/mcclock_ebus.c etc. (which have device dependent
tod clock routines.)
