Not enough, really not enough. Describe the hardware.

Why plural "timers", not "timer"? The module is usually called timer -
see other hardware that type.

I would just drop the names, not really useful. Unless you plan to add
here some generic interrupt (like you did for clock-names)?

Why do you need it? Use common clk framework to get that frequency.

Also, sort the nodes somehow, e.g.
compatible/reg/clocks/clock-frequency/interrupts/resets.

Did you test the binding?
