Are these frequencies mandatory to the timer or an implementation
detail of the SOC you're working with? I suspect, it might be possible
to see the same timer in a different SOC implementation with different
frequencies? In that case - or probably in general - the frequencies
should not be part of the binding, IMHO.

Might be just my personal preference, but you could also add the clock-names
property which would relax the ordering requirement a bit and would
clearly  identify the IP's clocks.
