struct clock_event_device is only completely defined when
CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS is defined, which it isn't. But I'm
confused as to why TIMER_OF getting selected by allyesconfig since it
depends on GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS.
It seems to be due to CLKSRC_PISTACHIO being selected, I guess that
should also depend on GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS.
