Suggestion:

In the Freescale Layerscape platform a flextimer module can be used
as an alarm timer to wake up the system.  Define a binding for this
alarm.

Suggestion:

  This binding describes a Flextimer (FTM) instance that can be used as an alarm
  to wake up a system in deep sleep.  The flextimer module with alarm
  support is in a power domain that remains awake when the SoC is in
  deep sleep mode.

(don't use flextimer1 in the binding...for all you know in the next SoC it
will be flextimer7 that has this capability)

  "should contain the address and size of the FTM alarm module registers"

(don't use the number 0)

   "describes the FTM alarm interrupt"

Drop the number 0 from the names in your example.
