Subject: [RFC 0/2] clocksource: don't suspend/resume when unused

Hi,

This is a quite naive implementation to track whether a cloccksource is enabled.
I chose not to add a member in struct clocksource and use a flag instead.

I found that timekeeping.c is the only consumer for clocksource and I converted
it to use clocksource_enable and clocksource_disable.

Regards,
