Soeren,

you know that patch 16/16 takes care of zynq's clock init?

It's your own patch you provided from the last RFC. Looking at it, it
moves zynq_sclr_init() to .init_irq and removes the call to
of_clk_init() from zynq_clock_init() which is called by
zynq_sclr_init().

Isn't that solving the above issues for mach-zynq?

Possibly, yes. But we could also unconditionally call of_clk_init() at
the beginning of time_init() and call clocksource_of_init() at the end.
That will make .init_time() to some fixup hook between initialization of
clocks and timers.

Hmm, the purpose was to allow most platforms to remove a custom
.init_time hook only calling of_clk_init() and clocksource_of_init().

If we move of_clk_init() above also in the else-branch the purpose
is still met.
