I would definitely prefer being able to just write

generic-y += clkdev.h 

I agree but I don't see this as something that should block having the
facility.  Or if it does I guess I'll need to try to either fix clkdev
to use the arch include optionally or go round all the architectures
either of which is going to be needlessly painful.

True.

Maybe Michal Marek or someone on the kbuild mailing list can help
out with a solution for that.

We could do that incrementally...

Yes, indeed it should be a separate change.

The reason I'm doing this is that the lack of a widely available clock
API is a considerable pain point for a lot of the stuff I work on and
this is the major blocker to just enabling the default implementation on
architectures that don't support it already which would be a big step
forwards.

Agreed.  Please submit this patch and we can concentrate on this other
stuff later.
