In my case, the hardware is not capable of serving at the same time
a clocksource device and a clockevent device.

First, I published v1 for a hardware device having this behavior at
[1] requesting 1st probed hardware device to work as clocksource and
the 2nd one to work as clockevent. The discussion at [1] ended up with
the idea of having a mechanism to specify which hardware device behaves
as clocksource and which one behaves as clockevent.

Thank you,
Claudiu Beznea
