[RFC v2 13/18] ARM: OMAP2+: AM33XX: timer: Interchance clkevt and clksrc timers

AM33XX has two timers (DTIMER0/1) in the WKUP domain.
On GP devices the source of DMTIMER0 is fixed to an
inaccurate internal 32k RC oscillator and this makes
the DMTIMER0 practically either as a clocksource or
as clockevent.

Currently the timer instance in WKUP domain is used
as the clockevent and the timer in non-WKUP domain
as the clocksource. DMTIMER1 in WKUP domain can keep
running in suspend from a 32K clock fed from external
OSC and can serve as the persistent clock for the kernel.
To enable this, interchange the timers used as clocksource
and clockevent for AM33XX.

For now a new DT property has been added to allow the timer code
to select the timer with the right property.

It has been pointed out by Santosh Shilimkar and Kevin Hilman
that such a change will result in soc-idle never being achieved
on AM33XX. There are other reasons why soc-idle does not look
feasible on AM33XX so for now we go ahead with the interchange
of the the timers. If at a later point of time we do come up
with an approach which makes soc-idle possible on AM33XX, this
can be revisited.
