This macro does the same job as CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE. The device name from the ACPI timer table is matched with all the registered timer controllers and matching initialisation routine is invoked.

Actually I have a fat patch renaming CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE() to TIMER_OF_DECLARE() and I think this macro, if needed, should be named TIMER_ACPI_DECLARE().
The reason is that "clocksource" is a Linux-internal name and this macro pertains to the hardware name in respective system description type.
That make sense to me too, I will update in next version if this patch is still needed.
+#ifdef CONFIG_ACPI +#define CLOCKSOURCE_ACPI_DECLARE(name, compat, fn) \
static const struct acpi_device_id __clksrc_acpi_table_##name \
__used __section(__clksrc_acpi_table) \
= { .id = compat, \
.driver_data = (kernel_ulong_t)fn }
+#else +#define CLOCKSOURCE_ACPI_DECLARE(name, compat, fn) +#endif
This hammers down the world to compile one binary for ACPI and one binary for device tree. Maybe that's fine, I don't know.
This is a problem we can have some discussion on it. I prefer mutually exclusive ACPI and DT support.
Thanks Hanjun
