Where is the location to put a device tree binding document for a
clocksource/clock event device? I found

	arm,armv7-timer-mem	| arm/arch_timer.txt
	fsl,timrot		| N/A
	nvidia,tegra20-rtc	| rtc/nvidia,tegra20-rtc.txt

Should I introduce a "clocksource" directory below
Documentation/devicetree/bindings?

Other than that if there are no further comments I'll sent a v2 soon.

Best regards
Uwe
