[PATCH v17 05/15] clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: rework PPI determination

From: Fu Wei <fu.wei at linaro.org>

Currently, the arch timer driver uses ARCH_TIMER_PHYS_SECURE_PPI to
mean the driver will use the secure PPI *and* potentialy also use the
non-secure PPI. This is somewhat confusing.

For arm64, where it never makes sense to use the secure PPI, this
means we must always request the useless secure PPI, adding to the
confusion. For ACPI, where we may not even have a valid secure PPI
number, this is additionally problematic. We need the driver to be
able to use *only* the non-secure PPI.

The logic to choose which PPI to use is intertwined with other logic
in arch_timer_init(). This patch factors the PPI determination out
into a new function named arch_timer_select_ppi, and then reworks it
so that we can handle having only a non-secure PPI.

This patch also moves arch_timer_ppi verification out to caller,
because we can verify the configuration from device-tree for ARM by this
way.

Meanwhile, because we will select ARCH_TIMER_PHYS_NONSECURE_PPI for ARM64,
the logic in arch_timer_register also need to be updated.
