That's the first compile error - 'struct clock_event_device' is
incomplete because 'CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS' is not defined.

Cc'ing Daniel Lezcano and Thomas Gleixner, since this seems to be a
problem with configurations selecting 'TIMER_OF' even though
'GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS' is not selected.
There was a recent-ish commit 599dc457c79b
("clocksource/drivers/Kconfig: Fix CLKSRC_PISTACHIO dependencies") to
address this problem for one particular clocksource driver, but some
other clocksource drivers seem to share the same problem. There are
several clocksource config options in "drivers/clocksource/Kconfig" that
select 'TIMER_OF' without depending on 'GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS'. Some of
them are only manually selectable when 'COMPILE_TEST' is selected. This
particular failure seems to be at least partly due to 'ARMV7M_SYSTICK'
getting selected.
