You can avoid the forward declaration by doing:

	struct clk_event_device *evt = dev_id;

	evt->event_handler(evt);

here, and:

adding here:

	.dev_id		= &clockevent_ep93xx,

Two points here:

1. You don't seem to use these in this patch, they're unrelated so please
   send as a separate patch.
2. Please don't pollute mach/timex.h with anything other than the
   CLOCK_TICK_RATE definition.  That's what it's there for, and it gets
   included by almost the entire kernel, so please don't pollute this
   file.
