I have no idea why sched_clock_register complains when interrupts are
already enabled. Form the code it doesn't look like this is a real issue
and it works for me.

I had this issue as well so I proposed the following patch a few weeks ago.

-------- Forwarded Message --------
Betreff: [PATCH resend] timers, sched_clock: Update timeout for clock wrap
Datum: Thu, 2 Mar 2017 10:02:16 +0100

<david.engraf@sysgo.com>

The scheduler clock framework may not use the correct timeout for the clock
wrap. This happens when a new clock driver calls sched_clock_register()
after the kernel called sched_clock_postinit(). In this case the clock wrap
timeout is too long thus sched_clock_poll() is called too late and the clock
already wrapped.

On my ARM system the scheduler was no longer scheduling any other task than
the idle task because the sched_clock() wrapped.
