Actually this binding already exists for mediatek timers, it is useless
to add a new one.

I note the binding in

Documentation/devicetree/bindings/timer/mediatek,mtk-timer.txt

contains:

 clocks = <&system_clk>, <&rtc_clk>

However the existing driver does only use <&system_clk> AFAICT, I'm
questioning if <&rtc_clk> is really needed.

So, I suggest you sort out and fixup the rtc_clk thing (drop it) and
then just add your new platform in the list in this binding.
