OK, how about this:

clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Refactor
arch_timer_needs_probing, only use it in the DT init code

Currently, the arch_timer_common_init uses arch_timer_needs_probing call to
wait for both timers been probed which is only for booting from DT.

For booting from ACPI, we don't need these in arch_timer_common_init, these code
should be only in the DT init code.

This patch seperates arch_timer_needs_probing related code out into a
new function
named arch_timer_needs_of_probing, and then reworks arch_timer_of_init
to use it,
so that we can keep this only in the DT init code.

yes, I have thought about this, but that means we have to split arch_timer_init,
and use arch_timer_register and arch_timer_common_init directly in
arch_timer_of_init.

In another word, I also need to modify arch_timer_of_init, not only
arch_timer_common_init,
but let me have a try in v17, see if you like it.
