The description is not very clear. Can you elaborate ?

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.

linux/drivers/clocksource/timer-nps.c: In function ‘nps_setup_clocksource’:
linux/drivers/clocksource/timer-nps.c:77:10: warning: ‘return’ with a value, in function returning void
   return ret;
          ^
linux/drivers/clocksource/timer-nps.c:89:9: warning: ‘return’ with a value, in function returning void
  return ret;
         ^
linux/drivers/clocksource/timer-nps.c: At top level:
linux/drivers/clocksource/timer-nps.c:92:216: warning: comparison of distinct pointer types lacks a cast

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].
