Please be more careful with your subject line. The prefix for this is
definitely not 'clocksource'. git log would have told you the proper one:

clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer

'clocksource' is the general subsystem and used for system wide changes or
core changes, but not for a particular driver.

Other than that this is fine. I'll fix it up when applying.
