Yes, that would be fine, but if it does never happen, we don't really
need this check. If you prefer to make sure there isn't a spurious
interrupt and considering it shouldn't happen, a pr_info trace may help
to spot this misbehavior.

Yes.

I don't like to have a "CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE" to initialize a
clockevent but I can't blame you, this is what is done in the other drivers.
