[PATCH v2] clocksource: add dummy software-only clocksource

This driver is very handy for initial barebox porting.
It was used for running barebox on DiGiC2-based camera
and initial porting barebox to Loongson-1 and ar9331.

+	  When porting barebox to a new SoC there might be a case
+	  of broken or absent clocksource. This causes barebox serial
+	  console to be non functional.
+	  To solve the problem this software-only clocksource driver is used.
+	      WARNING!!! This clocksource doesn't provide correct timing.
+	  To adjust this clocksource please use CONFIG_CLOCKSOURCE_DUMMY_RATE.
+	  The bigger rate valuest makes clocksource "faster".
+	  It's possible to add this clocksource unconditionally.
+	  This clocksource starts very early (pure_initcall) so
+	  real clocksource will take over.
+	  This can help if initialization order is wrong so that
+	  the time functions are used before the real clocksource
+	  was initialized.
