Subject: drop second, redundant "bindings".

No model name/number? If it is part of Soc, then a SoC specific number
is expected usually.

This lacks type ($ref) and units in description, but more important -
why this is not part of compatible? Is it a width of register(s)?

And what is "instance of litex.soc.cores.Timer"? Is it configurable,
soft-core?

BTW, there is reg-io-width property.

Use 4 spaces for example indentation.
