These functions are called with irqs already off.

at91rm2000 had a WARN_ON_ONCE if irqs were enabled since Nov 2008 with
noone reporting having hit it.
It might be useful to document these clockevent interfaces.  There's
at least a few ARM clockevent implementations which don't set the
periodic interval when set_next_event() is called - probably because
it wasn't realised that it was required.
I'm a bit confused now as AFAIK set_next_event isn't called in periodic
mode.

You mean they don't start the timer if mode==CLOCK_EVT_MODE_PERIODIC in
.set_mode?
It looks as if pxa is such an implementation, it does nothing in this
case.

Best regards
Uwe
