The irq is assigned through:

setup_irq(irq, &nmdk_timer_irq);

two lines above but the clockevent's irq field was not set.

I did not investigate a lot, but at the first glance it worked because
the code path used by the default kernel configuration (CONFIG_NO_HZ)
does not use this field.

But when using the dynamic irq affinity [1], I noticed it was set to 0.
