The S32G reference manual specifies two clocks for the STM module: one
for the registers and another for the counter itself. Shouldn't both
clocks be represented in the bindings?

AFAICS, there are two clocks as described in the documentation for the s32g2 page 843, section 23.7.3 Timer modules.

The module and the register clock are fed by the XBAR_DIV3_CLK which is an system clock always-on.

page 1994, 40.5.4 Clocking, the documentation says: "This module has no clocking considerations."

From my understanding, we should not describe the XBAR_DIV3_CLK as it is a system clock.

Can you clarify for the STM if you still want to change the binding ?
