Umm.. WHy not make the device tree look like this:
-- "clocksource" -- +-- HPET | +-- TSC | +-- i8259 | +-- lapic timer | .. whatever else and use the "struct device" that we *have* for this? The whole "struct device" is literally designed to do this, and to be embedded into whatever bigger structures you have that describes higher-level behaviour. Ie you'd put a "struct device" inside the "struct clocksource".
That thingalready *has* the suspend/resume hooks, and it will mean that people will see the clocks in the device tree rather than have a new notion.
