Hi Daniel,

Thanks for you review, I agree on all concerns raised and address them
in the next version. Just some points to confirm below (I left only
relevant parts).

Why that could happen ? Add a comment.
Sort of defensive programming, I never seen it happens, but just in case
of spurious interrupts... Do you prefer to get rid of this check or

     /* spurious interrupt? */
     if (!status)
         return IRQ_NONE;

would be fine to you?
Yes, that would be fine, but if it does never happen, we don't really 
need this check. If you prefer to make sure there isn't a spurious 
interrupt and considering it shouldn't happen, a pr_info trace may help 
to spot this misbehavior.

That assumes the clocksource is defined before the clockevents in the
DT. If it is not the case, the mps2_clocksource_init will fail (and spit
errors) and mps2_clockevents_init() won't be called.
Does following (stolen from efm32) look better to you?

static void __init mps2_timer_init(struct device_node *np)
{
	static int has_clocksource, has_clockevent;
	int ret;

	if (!has_clocksource) {
		ret = mps2_clocksource_init(np);
		if (!ret) {
			has_clocksource = 1;
			return;
		}
	}

	if (!has_clockevent) {
		ret = mps2_clockevent_init(np);
		if (!ret) {
			has_clockevent = 1;
			return;
		}
	}
}
Yes.

I don't like to have a "CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE" to initialize a 
clockevent but I can't blame you, this is what is done in the other drivers.
