The snag is that we need to dig ourselves out of the hole set by:
fsl,vf610-ftm-pwm etc.

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pwm/pwm-fsl-ftm.txt
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/timer/fsl,ftm-timer.txt
(I'm assuming these are the same IP block).

Can probably be sorted out though.  One core driver binds against the
ftm and deals with instantiating the others depending on the configuration
(note that this mode for instance does make sense in DT as it's
really reflecting the fact there is a quadrature encoder
connected to the ftm).

Fiddly though :)
