[PATCH v8 1/4] arm64: arch_timer: Add device tree binding for hisilicon-161010101 erratum

This erratum describes a bug in logic outside the core, so MIDR can't be
used to identify its presence, and reading an SoC-specific revision
register from common arch timer code would be awkward. So, describe it
in the device tree.

+ than the first by less than 32. If the verification is unsuccessful, then
