I'd suggest it should be passed through from the platform code: only it
knows what it's going to be (and if indeed there's going to be one at
all).  In fact, the lack-of-clock at the moment is fatal; it shouldn't
be IMO.  For example, I don't need one in SMX.

As I said before I'd prefer to keep my driver separate and standalone,
but you and HJK have expressed a wish for unification.  If I get this
formally I'll consider myself outvoted and submit a patch to unify it
all when I submit my platform code (soon).
