[PATCH v3 0/5] Armada XP clocks for timer

After the recent discussion on the device tree binding for the Armada 370/XP
clocksource driver, Stephen Warren, Tomasz Figa and others suggested
that the reference 25 MHz fixed-clock (aka refclk) should have a proper
device tree representation.
(Although that's still debatable, given the 25 MHz fixed-clock seems to be
used only by the timer/watchdog IP block.)
In addition to that and to be accurate, both timer clock inputs: nbclk and
refclk should be exposed in the DT node for the Armada XP timer.
Following an excellent suggestion from Sebastian Hesselbarth, here's a
patchset to accurately model the clock inputs for the timer.
Considering this is very minor improvemente from my previous patchset [1],
I dare ask about v3.12 inclusion. On the other side, maybe it's too late already
and it's best to keep it for v3.13.
Patches 1 and 2 apply on v3.11-rc4 plus the commit:
"ARM: mvebu: Fix the Armada 370/XP timer compatible strings"
that's already in mvebu/dt.
Patch 3, 4 and 5 applies on tip/timers/core plus the recent series [1].

Changes from v2:
* Replace WARN_ON with BUG_ON. As noted in the patch, it's wrong
to only WARN() as the kernel cannot keep going without a working timer.
Changes from v1:
* Improve the devicetree binding as the requirements were very
badly stated.
