Yeh :(. I did additional tests, and, unfortunately, this can't be used as is.
But not because of clocksource_of_init() which will just produce boot warning.
It can't be done because of sched_clock_register() which is expected to be
called during early boot time only and with disabled IRQs.
It was so tempting to try :)
Thanks for your comment.
