Rephrase above part please...

Enable DT based clocksources/clockevents to be probed on ARC. Both clk and IRQ are
furnished by DT.

Rephrase...

Also move of_clk_init() from a late'ish arch_initcall into time_init() to ensure
clocksource_probe() gets the "provide" clocks.

You don't need the #ifdef for both as stub versions already exist.

simply do #ifndef CONFIG_CLKSRC_OF just as you do above.

I wanted to remove arc_local_timer_setup from ARC altogether and just switch over
to DT, but it seems I first need to figure out how the timer clk will work with
existing *hack* in plat-axs where we change the clk value for SMP / QUAD configs.

Perhaps needs a clk driver !
