I think you missed my comments in the previous email thread.

I would request to make this patch bit more CLINT independent.

Please see inline below.

The entire asm/clint.h can be avoided by adding 
"extern u64 __iomem *riscv_mmio_time_val;"
here in n asm/timex.h

Also, this will make it bit more CLINT independent.

Use riscv_mmio_time_val instead of clint_time_val above.

As-per, above suggestion drop this #include.

Define and export "u64 __iomem *riscv_mmio_time_val" in
arch/riscv/kernel/time.c

This way no "clint_time_val" definition required here as well
and other MMIO timers can also set riscv_mmio_time_val.

Just set " riscv_mmio_time_val = clint_timer_val" here.
