OK

Shoud I also add CLKSRC_OF ?

This driver is based from a driver from the OX820 sdk from Oxford and modified by Ma Haijun, thus the copyrights.

It can be done.

Sure, but as for 4.6, it seems neither sched_clock_register, clocksource_mmio_init or clockevents_config_and_register can be reverted !
What should I do ?
