This macro does the same job as CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE. The device
name from the ACPI timer table is matched with all the registered
timer controllers and matching initialisation routine is invoked.

I wouldn't anticipate this infrastructure to be required. Shouldn't all
ARMv8 machines have an architected timer?

I not sure of this, could anyone can give some guidance? if only arch
timer is available for ARM64, this will make thing very simple.

Thanks
