A cleaner way is how we are doing irqchips [1]. This needs a single
function (or one each for clksrc and clkevt) that has a DT match list of
all known timers and calls their init function. It should be a bit
simpler than irqchips init function because you don't need to worry
about hierarchy init ordering. That doesn't solve non-DT though and if
there are any extra functions like we have with irqchips, you still need
the header in include/linux.
