The changelog is completely silent about the core code change. That's
not how it works.
Add the core code change as a separate patch with a proper justification
and not hide it in the pile of the PMC changes without cc'ing the
relevant maintainers. It's documented how this works, no?

How would ACPI/PM ever be selected as a suspend clocksource? It's not
marked CLOCK_SOURCE_SUSPEND_NONSTOP.
There is a reason why clocksources have suspend/resume and
enable/disable callbacks. The latter allow you to turn it completely off
when it is not in use.
Something like the below should work. It's uncompiled, but you get the
idea.
