So you are relying on the compiler cleverness to identify a caller
which calls that inline with a not supported reg value.
How does that work, when the compiler decides not to inline that?
enum without a default case emits at least a reliable warning.

Something in my little brain yells: function pointer
You can't be serious about hacking nested if/else/switch constructs
into a hot path.
Why not making your cpu data:
struct arch_timer {
struct clock_event_device evt;
....
void (*write_ctrl)(val, timer);
void (*write_tval)(val, timer);
....
}
and get rid of all that conditionals?
Thanks,
tglx
