clocksource: Add devm_clocksource_register_*() helpers
Introduce device-managed helpers for clocksource registration.
The clocksource framework currently provides __clocksource_register_scale()
along with convenience wrappers for Hz and kHz registration. However,
drivers must handle error paths and cleanup manually, typically by pairing
registration with an explicit clocksource_unregister() call.
Add a devm-based variant, __devm_clocksource_register_scale(), along with
devm_clocksource_register_hz() and devm_clocksource_register_khz() helpers.
These helpers register the clocksource and attach a devres action to
automatically unregister it on driver detach or probe failure.
This simplifies driver code by:
* removing explicit cleanup paths
* ensuring correct teardown ordering
* aligning with the devm-based resource management model widely used
across the kernel
While drivers can open-code devm_add_action_or_reset(), providing a
dedicated helper avoids duplication, reduces boilerplate, and ensures
consistent usage across drivers, following patterns used in other
subsystems.
This is also particularly useful for drivers built as modules, where
device-managed resource handling avoids manual cleanup in remove paths and
ensures correct teardown on module unload.
This helper is self-contained and can be adopted progressively by drivers.
No functional change.
