But IIO is not a piece of hardware, its a software framework in the Linux
kernel.

Can't you represent these as properties?

Please don't top post.

No, it's not okay. If the counter sizes are different, then have a 
property for the counter size. Describe how they are different without 
numbering them. If you can't describe the differences, then it shouldn't 
matter which ones the OS picks to use.

I doubt the h/w manual calls these "IIO timers".
