NB: AFAIU/IIUC the global timer ticks at cpuclk/N but the driver
does not deal with frequency updates (unlike smp_twd.c) I'm not
sure global timer can be used reliably together with cpufreq.

If using cpufreq, I don't think the global timer can be used
as a clock source.
Again AFAIU and IIUC and I may be wrong.
