As a general note, for our own selfish reasons the device tree maintainers
would prefer that binding document changes were in a separate patch from any
code (though the whole series can be Cc'd to devicetree@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, it's
oftern useful context). It makes it far easier to find the information relevant
to us, manage review and so on.

s/should be/should contain/ -- there might be a future variant that's
compatible with the software-visible interface.
Is that ARC 700 a family or a specific implementation? If it's a family it may
make sense to define the strings you expect for particular implementations,
while still expecting "snps,arc700-pmu" to be in the compatible string list.
Are there any interrupts? Most PMUs I've seen have an interrupt for
overflow/saturation.

Regardless, given it's so simple and can be extended easily in future, this
looks fine to me. With the minor change to the compatible description:
