I think drivers/clocksource/samsung_pwm_timer.c and
drivers/pwm/pwm-samsung.c provide another example for how to go about
this.

Yes. However, I don't have a microblaze setup, so I have just added the
PWM driver.

I would really like to see a standard way of doing this. Many timers
also have PWM support (e.g. samsung, and also DW). I think it's unusual
that this problem has not already been addressed.
