My question is really for Yangbo...

If the driver can't work without out-of-tree hacks, then it shouldn't
be merged (but I wouldn't object in that case for inclusion in staging
just so users can integrate it).

So we need to understand how this clock driver will be connected to
the time stamping MAC drivers.
