That's the wrong way around. You define the binding, get concensus that
it's okay and then implement the binding in the driver. Of course you'd
always provide both the binding and an implementation in the same patch
series for convenience, but that doesn't change the logical ordering.

This isn't a proper sentence and doesn't add much useful information. If
you want to say anything here, provide details about the PWM controller.

You should think about adding a clock-names property here as well.
