I don't see a need to call this from platform code for non-DT platforms, it
can easily be used with CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE() all the time I think.

sorry Am confused here.
How would this work for non-DT?

It won't.

Looking at the code in clocksource_of_init it just goes through the
of_device_id table, which is not used in case of non-DT.

All new platforms are DT-only, and none of the old platforms use this
driver, so it does not matter.
