What do you mean by "some time"? So far I only see a kernel internal 
variable named after it. That's dramatically different from something 
exposed via uapi.

Just name it tbfreq.

So if this is the frequency, where is the offset? You will need it on 
save/restore. If you're saying that's out of scope for now, that's fine 
with me too :).
