[PATCH 01/10] clocksource: dw_apb_timer_of: use the clocksource as sched clock if necessary

Currently the dw_apb_timer always expects a separate special timer to be
availbable for the sched_clock. Some devices using dw_apb_timers do not
have the sptimer but can use the clocksource as sched_clock.
Therefore this patch adds using the clocksource timer as
a fallback if no usable sched timer is found.
