I'd suggest that making the clock tree visible in sysfs (and therefore
part of the kernel ABI) is not a good idea. Some of the nodes in there
will be specific to the implementation. Exposing the clock nodes means
that if you have to change the clock tree structure, you change the
visible userspace ABI.

So, I'd suggest that we need to see a justification for this, rather
than exposing this stuff via debugfs as has been done with existing
implementations.
