clockevents: Add a clkevt-of mechanism like clksrc-of
The current code uses the CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE macro to fill the clksrc table with a t-uple (name, init_function). Unfortunately it ends up to the clockevent and the clocksource being both initialized with this macro. It is not a problem by itself but there is not a clear distinction between a clockevent and a clocksource in the code initialization path. Somebody can argue there are the same IP block and the same DT node. But conceptually from the software side, there are two distincts entities and as is they should be initialized separetely. Some drivers which do not have a clocksource end up by using the CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE macro to declare a clockevent. Another result is the fuzzy organization in the clocksource directory, where the clockevents are implemented in the same file than the clocksources or file labelled timer-something implementing a clocksource. This patch provides another macro to specifically declare a clockevent in the same w...
