struct clocksource is also used by the clk notifier callback, to
unregister and re-register the clocksource with a different clock rate.
clocksource_mmio_init does not pass back a pointer to the struct used,
and the clk notifier callback assumes that the struct clocksource in
struct sun5i_timer_clksrc is valid. This results in a kernel NULL
pointer dereference when the hstimer clock is changed:
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000004

Revert the commit for now. clocksource_mmio_init can be made to pass back
a pointer, but the code churn and usage of an inner struct might not be
worth it.
