This change breaks boot on Unmatched. The bug is that the above call to
clockevents_config_and_register() sets the timer (see below), but the timer
interrupt never fires due to the added call to riscv_clock_event_stop(). You
need to move this line earlier in the function.

Here's the stack trace from the initial call to riscv_clock_next_event():
