Build the arm64 SoCs (e.g.: RK3368) on Rockchip platform,
There are some failure with build up on timer driver for rockchip.

logs:
...
drivers/clocksource/rockchip_timer.c:156:13: error: 'NO_IRQ' 
undeclared
I think the NO_IRQ definition is missing for ARM64.
Yep, Maybe better to compatible if we don't use the 'NO_IRQ',
Hmm, after digging into drivers/of/irq.c and kernel/irq/irqdomain.c

when there is an error it returns zero. So NO_IRQ and -1 are not 
correct and on the other side zero can be a valid irq. That sounds a 
little bit fuzzy to me.
I believe the 'NO_IRQ' is better select if 'NO_IRQ' is defined on ARM64 
platform.

     irq = irq_of_parse_and_map(np, 0);

     if (irq  == NO_IRQ)
...
Also, that's ok if we instead of the 'irq < 0'  or  '!irq' , right?

`dsb`

The problem was different semantics of dsb on btw arm32 and arm64,
Here we can convert the dsb with insteading of dsb(sy).
What happens to ARM32 then ?
The dsb() is ok for ARM32, the ARM32/64 are OK if we can convert the
dsb() to dsb(sy).
I believe all drivers with 'dsb()' have same issue on ARM64 platform.

Meanwhile, I change a bit to make the code more readability for driver
when I check the code style.
