I have put this patch into my randconfig build system and found that
it lacks a dependency:



diff --git a/drivers/clocksource/Kconfig b/drivers/clocksource/Kconfig
index e18ef32776a3..59b9251eef37 100644

         select CLKSRC_OF if OF
         select CLKSRC_MMIO
         help
	

Also the init function has changed its return type in linux-next:

> +static void __init nuc970_timer_of_init(struct device_node *node)

This now needs to return an error code or we get:

../include/linux/of.h:1004:20: error: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast [-Werror]
        .data = (fn == (fn_type)NULL) ? fn : fn  }

Daniel Lezcano seems to have implemented a migration strategy, but I
can't see what you are supposed to do here, since the
CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE_RET macro is no longer part of linux-next.
