So the "one provider" worries me, but the part that really doesn't
make me all warm and fuzzy is how this came in at the end of the merge
window.

And it's a bit odd in other ways.

The DT bindings got the comment "why call it 'hardware timestamp'"
when no other case seems sane.

So the DT bindings got renamed. So now part of the code calls it "hte"
(which nobody understands outside of the hte community that is
apparently one single device: Tegra) and part of the code calls it
"timestamp".

Hmm.
