This adds a binding for the Xilinx LogiCORE IP AXI Timer. This device is
a "soft" block, so it has many parameters which would not be
configurable in most hardware. This binding is usually automatically
generated by Xilinx's tools, so the names and values of some properties
must be kept as they are. Replacement properties have been provided for
new device trees.

Because we need to init timer devices so early in boot, the easiest way
to configure things is to use a device tree property. For the moment
this is 'xlnx,pwm', but this could be extended/renamed/etc. in the
future if these is a need for a generic property.

Changes in v4:
- Remove references to generate polarity so this can get merged
- Predicate PWM driver on the presence of #pwm-cells
- Make some properties optional for clocksource drivers

Changes in v3:
- Mark all boolean-as-int properties as deprecated
- Add xlnx,pwm and xlnx,gen?-active-low properties.
- Make newer replacement properties mutually-exclusive with what they
  replace
- Add an example with non-deprecated properties only.

Changes in v2:
- Use 32-bit addresses for example binding

I don't think this is the right location for this.

I have done some grepping and I think this should be done in a different
way. I pretty much like solution around "ti,omap3430-timer" which is
calling dmtimer_systimer_select_best() and later dmtimer_is_preferred()
which in this case would allow us to get rid of cases which are not
suitable for clocksource and clockevent.

And there is drivers/pwm/pwm-omap-dmtimer.c which has link to timer
which is providing functions for it's functionality.

I have also looked at
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/timer/nxp,tpm-timer.yaml which is also
the same device.

And sort of curious if you look at
https://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/ip_documentation/axi_timer/v2_0/pg079-axi-timer.pdf
( Figure 1-1)
that PWM is taking input from generate out 0 and generate out 1 which is
maybe can be modeled is any output and pwm driver can register inputs
for pwm driver.

Origin driver is not using this clock name and it is only one that's why
it shouldn't be listed.

This is not accurate. It should be enum because only 8/16/32 are valid
values here.

Let's discussed this usage based on design.

+            - clocks
+        - properties:

And this checking should be removed too.

+additionalProperties: true

label is useless here and should be removed.

+        xlnx,count-width = <0x20>;
+        xlnx,one-timer-only = <0x0>;
+    };
I would list example without pwm-cells first as it is valid and reflect
current status.
