Ok, but I've a bit different :)

		panic();
I want a panic here. Return will make debug confused and directly tell
the people where is wrong. It's root-timer for us and it must bootup.

If it's a co-timer, I also think return is good.

	ret = request_percpu_irq(irq, csky_timer_interrupt,
			"csky_mp_timer", &csky_to);
I'll use request_percpu_irq the same as in timer_of and I've tested it's
Ok.

Pls let me panic here.
