FSL MPICs have TFRR too.  I'm not sure that the lack of fsl,mpic is a
good indication that TFRR is being set (e.g. we have old device trees
for FSL chips with U-Boot that are labelled as ordinary openpics).

timerfreq is unsigned.  It can never be < 0.

This is not compatible with existing mpic timer nodes.

You need to support fsl,available-ranges since that's in an accepted
binding and people could have partitioned setups already using it.

You also have a mismatch between the property you check and the error
string.
