[PATCH 1/2] ARM: OMAP: am43xx: enable GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_BROADCAST

System will misbehave in the following case:
- AM43XX only build (UP);
- CONFIG_CPU_IDLE=y
- ARM TWD timer enabled and selected as clockevent device.

In the above case, It's expected that broadcast timer will be used as
backup timer when CPUIdle will put MPU in low power states where ARM
TWD will stop and lose its context. But, the CONFIG_SMP might not be
selected when kernel is built for AM43XX SoC only and, as result,
GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_BROADCAST option will not be selected also. This
will break CPUIdle and System will stuck in low power states.

Hence, fix it by selecting GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_BROADCAST option for
AM43XX SoCs always and add empty tick_broadcast() function
implementation - no need to send any IPI on UP. After this change
timer1 will be selected as broadcast timer the same way as for SMP,
and CPUIdle will work properly.
