Hi Noam,

Added Thomas Gleixner and John Stultz.

Please add an entry in the clocksource's Kconfig.

eg:

config NPS400_TIMER
	bool "NPS400 clocksource driver" if COMPILE_TEST
	help
	  NPS400 clocksource support.

and in the platform's Kconfig:

select NPS400_TIMER

Are you sure all the headers are needed ?

Why do you need to disable the interrupt here ?

May be you can consider using only the 32bits. Sometimes it is faster 
than using 64bits arithmetic and reading the register three times.

Why are you using 'of_get_flat_dt_root' / 'of_get_flat_dt_prop' ?
