rockchip,rk-timer.txt states what I should use rockchip,rk3288-timer for rk3188 timers:
Required properties: - compatible: shall be one of: "rockchip,rk3288-timer" - for rk3066, rk3036, rk3188, rk322x, rk3288, rk3368
Should I add "rockchip,rk3188-timer» (or better "rockchip,rk3036-timer») ? Or may be second approach should be used?

May be it is better to prepend compatible string with "rockchip,rk3188-timer» in the dts file only? elinux[1] recommend build compatible string from "exact device» string and «other devices» that the device is compatible with.
As «other devices» string defined already, I use it.
[1] http://elinux.org/Device_Tree_Usage#Understanding_the_compatible_Property
timer0: timer@20038000 { compatible = "rockchip,rk3188-timer", "rockchip,rk3288-timer»; … };
Just found what rk3036 already declared such way:
rk3036.dtsi: timer: timer@20044000 { rk3036.dtsi: compatible = "rockchip,rk3036-timer", "rockchip,rk3288-timer»;

You are right.
I sent dts file with general timer settings, without clockevent enabled, so one could pick up timer and setup it in the board dts (radxarock, for example) like:
&timer0 { rockchip,clocksource; status = «okay»; };

If the patch[2] ok, I'll resend it and include devicetree maintainers.
