Yet another device to device clock sync driver. Please see the
discussion here:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250815113814.5e135318@kernel.org/
I think we have a consensus within the community that we should 
stop cramming random clocks into the PTP subsystem.

Exporting read-only clocks from another processor is not what PTP
is for.
