In that case why do you have the separate global_timer_init()
at all? Just move that code into global_timer_of_register() and
also remove the #ifdef around CONFIG_OF and make the driver
depend on CONFIG_OF in Kconfig.

After this you realize that all that business with
clk_register_clkdev() / clk_get_sys() is just pure surplus
baggade, you just use of_clk_get() and that's it.
