> [Mubin]: I am trying similar implementation for cadence TTC timer. I observed that, pwm driver is not getting probed, if 0 is returned from clocksource driver (based on pwm-cells property).

I believe that is because the ttc is not used as the primary
clocksource, and so is probed by usual methods (e.g.
call_driver_probe). TIMER_OF_DECLARE drivers get set up before the rest
of the driver model is set up, and timer_probe probes them manually.
