[PATCH v1 2/4] clocksource: arm_architected_timer: support clock-frequency

Some platforms, like the Samsung Galaxy S8, leave CNTFRQ_EL0 unset in
the previous stage bootloader. Therefore reading it causes a hang and
the boot proccess is halted.

Since on such retail devices there is no way to set it without replacing
the entire boot chain, allow setting a value from clock-frequency
whenever it's passed.
