Sorry to do this Ben.  Not much to do now though!

Add bindings information for STM32 General Purpose Timer

version 2:
- rename stm32-mfd-timer to stm32-gptimer
- only keep one compatible string

+STM32 General Purpose Timer driver bindings
This is a great place to describe what we're *actually* trying to
achieve with this driver, and the worst place to use the term "general
purpose", since this IP is so much more than that.


"STM32 Timers

This IP provides 3 types of timer along with PWM functionality.

[...]"

... then go on to explain what the 3 types are and how they can be
used.
quoted
+Required parameters:
+- compatible: must be "st,stm32-gptimer"
I vehemently disagree that this entire IP is a GP Timer.  It contains
GP timers, sure, but it also contains Advanced and Basic timers.

IMHO this compatible should be "st,stm32-timers".

And the file name of both this and the *.c file should reflect that
too.
I will do those name changes in v6.
Remainder looks nice.
quoted
+- reg:                       Physical base address and length of the controller's
+                     registers.
+- clock-names:               Set to "clk_int".
+- clocks:            Phandle to the clock used by the timer module.
+                     For Clk properties, please refer to ../clock/clock-bindings.txt
+
+Optional parameters:
+- resets:            Phandle to the parent reset controller.
+                     See ../reset/st,stm32-rcc.txt
+
+Optional subnodes:
+- pwm:                       See ../pwm/pwm-stm32.txt
+- timer:             See ../iio/timer/stm32-timer-trigger.txt
+
+Example:
+     timers at 40010000 {
+             #address-cells = <1>;
+             #size-cells = <0>;
+             compatible = "st,stm32-gptimer";
+             reg = <0x40010000 0x400>;
+             clocks = <&rcc 0 160>;
+             clock-names = "clk_int";
+
+             pwm at 0 {
Out of interest, do you use the "@0", "@1" for anything now?
No I don't use them so I will remove them in v6
quoted
+                     compatible = "st,stm32-pwm";
+                     pinctrl-0       = <&pwm1_pins>;
+                     pinctrl-names   = "default";
+             };
+
+             timer at 0 {
+                     compatible = "st,stm32-timer-trigger";
+                     reg = <0>;
+             };
+     };
