As mentioned on the previous patch, I think for the timebeing we should
rely on CNTFREQ.

Additionally, if you need to do this we should have an analagous
mechanism to clocksource_of_init() that performs this initialisation for
ACPI, and here we can call a clocksource_*_init function that does the
right thing.

There's no need for this file to know anything about ACPI.

Mark.
