"STM32 Multi-Function Timer/PWM device bindings"

Doesn't this shared device have a better name?

No need for this sentence.

We don't normally number devices.

What's stopping you from simply doing:

	pwm1: pwm1@40010000 {
		compatible = "st,stm32-pwm";
	};
	pwm2: pwm1@40020000 {
		compatible = "st,stm32-pwm";
	};
	pwm3: pwm1@40030000 {
		compatible = "st,stm32-pwm";
	};

How many clocks are there?

If only 1, you don't need this property.

"mfd_timer_clk" is not the correct name.

What is it called in the datasheet?

"Phandle to the clock ..."

Reference to?

See how other binding documents describe this property.

As above.

> +Optional subnodes:

Either use ":" or " :" or "<tab>:", but keep it consistent.

Use the relative paths "../clock/", "../pwm/", "../iio/".

This is not an "MFD timer".  MFD is a Linuxisum.

Better description required.
