[PATCH] clocksource: arm_arch_timer: Support reading clock rate from a driver

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal at milecki.pl>

On some devices using arch code for reading clock rate doesn't work. So
far the only option was to specify clock-frequency in a DT. This works
only if a clock frequency doesn't have to be calculated on runtime.

On BCM53573 SoC (with Cortex-A7) there is ILP clock that needs its own
driver. With this change we can query such clocks by using a standard:
clocks = <&foo>;
