Please don't use underscores in property names, and use the vendor  
prefix: "fsl,tdm-tx-clk" and "fsl,tdm-rx-clk".

Does this "generic" string (plus the other properties) tell you all you  
need to know about the device?  If there are other possible "generic"  
compatibles, they should be listed or else different people will make  
up different strings for the same thing.
