Given that the driver is in drivers/clocksource/* aren't You+Thomas
the maintainers?

Actually this is one of the instances where we try to push ARM stuff
down to a subsystem where it belongs for proper handling by the
subsystem maintainers.

This was a fortunate case since it happened to be a "clean"
clocksource driver, I don't know what to do with all the combined
clocksource+clock event drivers we have in ARM, part of me
wants to push that to drivers/clocksource too, but mainly the
cross-dependency of needing to be called during early machine
init get me to want to keep it in arch/arm/* FTM...
