Thank you very much for the clarification. But then what about the
sched_clock? I suppose sched_clock will suffer on T210 as well and it's
a bit trickier case because apparently arch-timer always wins since it
has a higher precision. I guess the best solution will be to just bail
out from arch-timer's driver probe in a case of T210.

if (of_machine_is_compatible("nvidia,tegra210"))
        return 0.
