Hi,

Thanks for the report. I can reproduce the build error locally.
The problem is readl_relaxed usage in timex.h.

If include <asm/io.h> in timex.h, then we will meet issues which is
fixed by commit 0c3ac289.

If not include <asm/io.h>, then the readl_relaxed readq_relaxed
are not explictly declared as reported here.

I have two solutions:

solA: use __raw_readl and __raw_readq in timex, since I found other
architectures use the raw asm instructions for get_cycles()

solB: remove clint_time_val and export a function in timer-clint.c as below:
get_clint_cycles()
{
	readl_relaxed(clint_time_val);
}

then
#define get_cycles get_clint_cycles

Both solutions can solve the issues. which one is better?

Thanks in advance
