"STM32 Multi-Function Timer/PWM device bindings"
Doesn't this shared device have a better name?

No need for this sentence.

We don't normally number devices.
What's stopping you from simply doing:
pwm1: pwm1 at 40010000 {
compatible = "st,stm32-pwm";
};
pwm2: pwm1 at 40020000 {
compatible = "st,stm32-pwm";
};
pwm3: pwm1 at 40030000 {
compatible = "st,stm32-pwm";
};

How many clocks are there?
If only 1, you don't need this property.
"mfd_timer_clk" is not the correct name.
What is it called in the datasheet?

"Phandle to the clock ..."

Reference to?
See how other binding documents describe this property.

As above.

Either use ":" or " :" or "<tab>:", but keep it consistent.

Use the relative paths "../clock/", "../pwm/", "../iio/".

This is not an "MFD timer". MFD is a Linuxisum.

Better description required.
