Any reason why we can't simply move *all* of these to
drivers/clocksource/*and proceed with consolidation there?This gives me some pause, as having the clocksources in the platform code makes it easier to know what platform needs to be tested when a change is made. The rule so far has been if more then one arch can make use of it, it should be moved to the
drivers/clocksourcedir. Otherwise, leave it close to any arch specific code that manages the hardware.

That means that by definition anything in a plat-* directory, say e.g.
plat-nomadik/timer.candplat-omap/dmtimer.cshould go intodrivers/clocksourceI believe?
Or drivers/timers as they may be generic hardware timers? They are not necessarily used for clocksource.
