I don't see a reason for a custom, new API just for this device.

The TGPIO input clock, the ART, is a free running counter, but you
want to support frequency adjustments.  Use a timecounter cyclecounter
pair.

Let the user dial a periodic output signal in the normal way.

Let the user change the frequency in the normal way, and during this
call, adjust the counter values accordingly.
