[PATCH v7 3/4] arm64: arch_timer: Work around Erratum Hisilicon-161601

Erratum Hisilicon-161601 says that the ARM generic timer counter "has the
potential to contain an erroneous value when the timer value changes".
Accesses to TVAL (both read and write) are also affected due to the implicit counter
read.  Accesses to CVAL are not affected.

The workaround is to reread the system count registers until the value of the second
read is larger than the first one by less than 32, the system counter can be guaranteed
not to return wrong value twice by back-to-back read and the error value is always larger
than the correct one by 32. Writes to TVAL are replaced with an equivalent write to CVAL.

The workaround is enabled if the hisilicon,erratum-161601 property is found in
the timer node in the device tree. This can be overridden with the
clocksource.arm_arch_timer.hisilicon-161601 boot parameter, which allows KVM
users to enable the workaround until a mechanism is implemented to
automatically communicate this information.

Fix some description for fsl erratum a008585.
