Yes agree.
This unsigned long strangely behaves as 32 bits for arm32 and 64 bits for arm64.
So I think it better is to do something like this,
+static unsigned long exynos4_read_current_timer(void)
+{
+#ifdef ARM
+       return __raw_readl(reg_base + EXYNOS4_MCT_G_CNT_L);
+#else /* ARM64, etc */
+       return exynos4_frc_read(&mct_frc);
+#endif
+}
+
I will post V2 version like above and see what the maintainer says.

OK will re base my patch on top of this.
