Is there any reason that a particular timer should be used?

This shouldn't even mention the driver, as the binding should describe
the HW, not how it's used by Linux at the moment.

This sounds like a description of what software should do. Is there any
reason this order is important?

Also, it feels odd for the proerty name to be singular given it's a
