'mfd' is a Linuxism. Name it what Broadcom calls the block. There should 
be at least as many compatibles as there are variations of register 
layouts.

Don't you need a timer node? Make the binding complete.

Make this a child node of the timer.

Use 'reg'. If "syscon-reboot" doesn't allow that, add it.
