I think this causes OMAP builds to fail:

arch/arm/mach-omap2/timer.c:325:8: error: expected identifier or '(' before 'void'
arch/arm/mach-omap2/timer.c:325:15: error: expected ')' before numeric constant

     #if !defined(CONFIG_SMP) && defined(CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_BROADCAST)
>>>> void tick_broadcast(const struct cpumask *mask)
     {
     }
     #endif

vs

     # ifdef CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_BROADCAST
     #  ifdef CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_TICK_BROADCAST
     extern void tick_broadcast(const struct cpumask *mask);
     #  else
>>>> #   define tick_broadcast       NULL
     #  endif
     extern int tick_receive_broadcast(void);
     # endif

So, I'm dropping this change.
