Till now we used clockevent from generic ARC driver.
This was enough as long as we worked with simple multicore SoC.
When we are working with multithread SoC each HW thread can be
scheduled to receive timer interrupt using timer mask register
(TSI1).

This patch will provide a way to control clock events per
HW thread.
The description is not very clear. Can you elaborate ?
 
Driver can be used from device tree by:
compatible = "ezchip,nps400-timer0" <-- for clocksource
compatible = "ezchip,nps400-timer1" <-- for clockevent

CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE is expecting an int __init (*func)(struct device_node *)

This function returns void at the beginning then it is not changed and returns
an error value.

Don't submit changes which are not correctly compiled / tested, except you want to live
dangerously and watch your karma collapse.

I will let you fix this before reviewing the patches in details.

BTW, have a look at the hotplug callbacks, they changed to a finite state machine [1] and their usage
changed [2].
