This pattern of binding isn't easily checked completely by schema. You
need a dtc check added too. Should be a 2 line change. (And dtc changes
go upstream first).

Double plural:

#hardware-timestamp-cells

Arguably, the same string everywhere would have been an easier design,
but let's keep consistency with (most) other flavors of this pattern.
