Yes. We can do that.  But I would still keep a plain
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/rtc/snvs-rtc.txt there with only
a pointer to Documentation/devicetree/bindings/crypto/fsl-sec4.txt.
Otherwise, I'm afraid that people will hardly know the bindings of
snvs-rtc is documented in fsl-sec4.txt.

Sounds sensible.  But how will reg and interrupts properties be
documented?  The registers for lp-rtc is not so consecutive and
interrupts are shared by hp and lp.

I would not do that until the driver is tested on FSL_SOC.  Also I'm
considering to take Stephen's suggestion to drop even ARCH_MXC.
