I think what Daniel is pointing out is that the clocksource read
function isn't the place for the __USE_RTC() conditional. 

It would likely be better instead of the timebase clocksource managing
multiple type of hardware (timebase and RTC), to have a separate simple
RTC clocksource, and then conditionally register one or the other at
init time.
