Hi Xiubo,

Please see my comments inline.

If the meaning of flags cell is the same as in generic, default PWM 
specifier format, then it should be noted here and generic PWM binding 
documentation mentioned.

Is it a hardware-specific property?

Could you explain meaning of this property?

This is redundant, because you can simply count how many entries have been 
specified in fsl,pwm-channels.

Could you explain meaning of this property more precisely? I'm interested 
especially how is this related to the PWM IP block and boards.

I'd suggest a more readable naming convention, for example chN-active and 
chN-idle. These words seem to be more common across existing bindings.

Best regards,
