When an clock handle is specified in the device tree, enable it and use
it to determine the external clock frequency.

I'd drop handle here and just say "When a clock is specified".

This will need a binding document update.

Is there only a single external clock input to the kona timer, or is
only one relevant here?

Are there any other inputs currently not modelled (e.g. regulators)?

Nit: it's not a handle, it's a phandle+args pair.

Why not just "Unable to determine clock frequency"?

Do we need to panic here? Might a system have other clocks it could use
to continue?

Thanks,
Mark.

Can you be more specific about what you are looking for here?

Shall I just say that the frequency property is now deprecated since
it actually belongs to the external clock whose association with a
kona timer instance might be declared in the DT using the common clock
bindings but could also be declared through other means?

The timer block relies upon a single clock and does not use any regulators.

Sure that sounds fine.

I completely agree that this driver could be improved.  However, this
is unrelated to the topic of this series so I will address it later in
a separate patch.
