Hmm, even if the fix looks correct, it doesn't make sense to put it there.

Why not:

diff --git a/arch/arm64/kernel/time.c b/arch/arm64/kernel/time.c
index 42f9195..0b8933f 100644
--- a/arch/arm64/kernel/time.c
+++ b/arch/arm64/kernel/time.c
@@ -69,7 +69,9 @@ void __init time_init(void)
  	u32 arch_timer_rate;

  	of_clk_init(NULL);
-	clocksource_of_init();
+
+	if (of_have_populated_dt())
+		clocksource_of_init();

  	tick_setup_hrtimer_broadcast();
