I do not maintain acpi neither arm64.mm.

AFAICT, riscv_time_val is globally declared in
drivers/clocksource/timer-riscv.c

The driver does not use this variable at all. Then there is a readl on
it in the header file arch/riscv/include/asm/timex.h

And finally it is initialized in arch/riscv/kernel/clint.c

Same thing for riscv_time_cmp.

The correct fix is to initialize the variables in the place where they
belong to (drivers/clocksource/timer-riscv.c), create a function to read
their content and export-symbol-gpl the function.
