Will drop. Thanks.

Because normally this timer driver is loaded earlier than the clock tree driver, it won't get
that frequency by clk framework and this 'clock-frequency' node is used instead.

Will reorder. Thanks.

Yes, I had tested by 'dt_binding_check'. Do you mean the 'unevaluatedProperties' is wrong
and use 'additionalProperties'?
