I did mess up.

Alexander, can you test that:

diff --git a/drivers/clocksource/timer-atmel-tcb.c b/drivers/clocksource/timer-atmel-tcb.c
index 7fde9cfbf203..bbbacf8c46b0 100644
--- a/drivers/clocksource/timer-atmel-tcb.c
+++ b/drivers/clocksource/timer-atmel-tcb.c

 		goto err_slow;
 	clk_disable(tce.clk);
 
-	clockevents_config_and_register(&tce.clkevt, 32768, 1, bits - 1);
+	clockevents_config_and_register(&tce.clkevt, 32768, 1, BIT(bits) - 1);
 
 	ret = request_irq(tce.irq, tc_clkevt2_irq, IRQF_TIMER | IRQF_SHARED,
 			  tce.clkevt.name, &tce);

This will behave exactly the same as before on 16bits TCB and will have
much less interrupts on 32 bits platforms.
