Sorry, I was confusing the calls, I meant clocksource_of_init() not of_clk_init().

I think the reason why they were added twice is that you have two nodes
matching "nspire-classic-timer", so you get called for each one, but the
existing code (pre linux-next) does not actually pass the node and you
end up looping through both for each of the two calls.
