In the RISC-V specification, the stimecmp register doesn't have a default
value. To prevent the timer interrupt from being triggered during timer
initialization, clear the timer interrupt by writing stimecmp with a
maximum value.

The riscv_timer_init_common() is called only on boot HART.

I suggest doing riscv_clock_event_stop() in riscv_timer_starting_cpu()
just before enable_percpu_irq().

I also suggest adding an appropriate Fixes tag in the commit description.
