BCA is a big set / family of Broadcom devices sharing multiple hardware
blocks. One of them is timer that actually exists in two versions. It's
a part of TWD MFD block.

Add binding for it so SoCs can be properly described. Linux (and
probably any other OS) doesn't really seem to need a driver for it. it
may be needed for bootloaders (e.g., U-Boot) though. Especially for SoCs
with CPUs other than Cortex-A9 (which contains arch timers).

You do not need two examples, they are the same.
