I found this approach in the following already integrated drivers:
drivers/clocksource/armv7m_systick.c
drivers/clocksource/bcm2835_timer.c
drivers/clocksource/bcm_kona_timer.c
drivers/clocksource/mips-gic-timer.c
drivers/clocksource/mps2-timer.c
drivers/clocksource/timer-qcom.c
drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.c

Looking through the documentation of these, most of them document this DT
property as the frequency of the clock that drivers the timer, but none of
them seems to have some IP internal dividers so that the timer to tick at
different frequency than the clock that feeds the IP. From the
documentation of the above drivers;
drivers/clocksource/armv7m_systick.c
	- clock-frequency : The rate in HZ in input of the ARM SysTick

drivers/clocksource/bcm2835_timer.c
	- clock-frequency : The frequency of the clock that drives the counter, in
Hz.
drivers/clocksource/bcm_kona_timer.c
	- clock-frequency: frequency that the clock operates

drivers/clocksource/mips-gic-timer.c
	clock-frequency : Clock frequency at which the GIC timers operate.
drivers/clocksource/mps2-timer.c
	- clock-frequency : The rate in HZ in input of the ARM MPS2 timer

drivers/clocksource/timer-qcom.c
	- clock-frequency : The frequency of the debug timer and the general
purpose
                    timer(s) in Hz in that order.


This is why I also chose this DT bindings.

If you want I can stick to a fixed frequency hard coded in the driver.
Please let me know if this would be OK for you.

Thank you,
Claudiu Beznea
