no, this leftover reference to clock-bindings.txt is invalid, please remove it.

Instead you may add a simple description of the timer module.

To satisfy compatibles with multiple SoCs, apparently you may follow a model,
which is used with other Freescale controllers, for instance

gpio/fsl-imx-gpio.txt	- compatible : Should be "fsl,<soc>-gpio"
mmc/fsl-imx-esdhc.txt	- compatible : Should be "fsl,<chip>-esdhc"
serial/fsl-imx-uart.txt	- compatible : Should be "fsl,<soc>-uart"
timer/fsl,imxgpt.txt	- compatible : should be "fsl,<soc>-gpt"

and so on, I hope it would cover Rob's ask.
