If there is an error, you continue the execution of the code. I
guess you expect the system to hang in any case with the error in
the >console, right ?

Since our clock is root then returned value will always be valid. I
am far from being expert here, but no one checks for clk_get_rate()
return value for error. Could you refer to a single place at
clocksource drivers that checks for error in the return value.

Actually I was referring to clk_prepare_enable, clocksource_register_hz.
Agree clk_get_rate is always valid.

+       ret = clocksource_register_hz(clksrc, nps_timer_rate);

You can simplify the driver even more by using
clocksource_mmio_init.
Since my base address depends on cluster number, which CPU is part
of,  this interface is not much of a use. On top of that it assumes
that I am little endian by using readl family accessories.

Why can't you use ?

clocksource_mmio_init(nps_msu_reg_low_addr, "EZnps-tick", nps_timer_rate, 32, nps_clksrc_read);
