No, because solution is wrong.

> [Mubin]:  I am doing it based on earlier discussion related to AXI Timer PWM driver.  It was suggested to use #pwm-cells property for identifying role of device(PWM/clocksource) https://lore.kernel.org/linux-devicetree/20210513021631.GA878860@robh.at.kernel.org/. 

You are mixing bindings with driver. I said here about driver and yes -
you must use pwm-cells to differentiate that. It's obvious.

So again, one driver binding.

Wrap your emails to mailing list discussion style.
