[PATCH v2 0/3] PBL: enable timeouts in read_poll_timeout macros

Without a time source the read_poll_timeout functions will deadlock in the PBL
if the break condition is never met. This series introduces the necessary
timing functions in the PBL for ARMv7 and ARMv8 based on the ARM architected
timer and enable their usage if available.
