OK.

Well, it's not easy; some TCU channels will be used as PWM, and there's
no way
to know that when the clocksource driver probes. And which ones are PWM
/ which
ones are not, is board-specific. If you have a better solution though,
I take it.

I only put these to simplify the example, but you're right, I should
have
all the timer clocks supplied there.

Thanks,
