[PATCH v3 12/13] clocksource/drivers/rockchip_timer: implement clocksource timer

The clock supplying the arm-global-timer on the rk3188 is coming from the
the cpu clock itself and thus changes its rate everytime cpufreq adjusts
the cpu frequency making this timer unsuitable as a stable clocksource.

The rk3188, rk3288 and following socs share a separate timer block already
handled by the rockchip-timer driver. Therefore adapt this driver to also
be able to act as clocksource on rk3188.

In order to test clocksource you can run following commands and check
how much time it take in real. On rk3188 it take about ~45 seconds.
Such error cannot be fixed using NTP. Haven't test clocksource
on rk3288 and onwards. Guess they can also have unstable clocksource.

    cpufreq-set -f 1.6GHZ
    date; sleep 60; date

In order to use the patch you need to declare two timers in the dts
file. The first timer will be initialized as clockevent provider
and the second one as clocksource. The clockevent must be from
alive subsystem as it used as backup for the local timers at sleep
time.

In order to resolve ambiguity between timers in the device tree,
it is possible to correctly number the timers using "aliases" node.

The patch does not break compatibility with older device tree files.
The older device tree files contain only one timer. The timer
will be initialized as clockevent, as expected.
