Don't you want compatible strings for the other supported SOCs too?

Sorry for being pedantic, but we had so many ugly bindings in our vendor
tree. I'm still getting caught up on the clocks. I have the feeling the SOC
has two clocks (system and rtc) which are used to drive this timer,
while the timer probably refers differently to its clock inputs.
If this was the case, the names 'rtc' and 'system' clock are SOC specific
names/implementation details. From the timer perspective it is probably
just important that it receives two clock inputs. Since the timer is
described here and not the SOC, these SOC specific names should
disappear and be replaced with the names the timer IP uses for its input
clocks.
The clock-names should be listed too, probably as optional properties.
