This sounds somewhat strange, like Broadcom owns the bindings... perhaps
just:

	Broadcom PWM controller device tree bindings

Or for consistency:

	Broadcom Kona PWM controller device tree bindings

since apparently there exist other Broadcom PWM controllers.

"controller" and end the sentence with a full stop.

Please use the correct spelling "PWM" in prose here and elsewhere. Also
you should pick one of "kona", "Kona" or "KONA" and stick with it
consistently. Might also be useful to mention what Kona is. Doesn't
necessarily have to be in the document, but if for nothing else, then
just for my curiosity.

This sentence should also end with a full stop.
