Almost. I already proposed this in the past, but because the source clock
is variable in the Tegra case, this is not flexible enough.

What I was suggesting was to do the following:

timer {
        compatible = "arm,armv7-timer";
        [...]
        clocks = <&tsc>;
}

tsc: tsc {
        compatible = "nvidia,tegra114-tsc";
        reg = <0x700f0000 0x20000>;
        freq-range = <... ...>;
        clock-output-names = "tsc";
}

In the arch_timer code, start searching for the "clocks" property, and use
that if there is one. Otherwise, fall back to "clock-frequency", and
ultimately to reading CNTFRQ.

This requires some changes (converting the tsc code to be a clock), but
this is at least a proper description of the hardware, and should give you
the required flexibility.

Thanks,

        M.
