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

This patchset:
    (1)Preparation for adding GTDT support in arm_arch_timer:
        1. Introduce a MMIO CNTFRQ helper.
        2. separate out device-tree code from arch_timer_detect_rate
        3. remove arch_timer_detect_rate use arch_timer_*get_cntfrq directly
        4. Refactor arch_timer_needs_probing, and move it into DT init call
        5. Introduce some new structs and refactor the MMIO timer init code
        for reusing some common code.

    (2)Introduce ACPI GTDT parser: drivers/acpi/arm64/acpi_gtdt.c
    Parse all kinds of timer in GTDT table of ACPI:arch timer,
    memory-mapped timer and SBSA Generic Watchdog timer.
    This driver can help to simplify all the relevant timer drivers,
    and separate all the ACPI GTDT knowledge from them.

    (3)Simplify ACPI code for arm_arch_timer

    (4)Add GTDT support for ARM memory-mapped timer.

This patchset has been tested on the following platforms with ACPI enabled:
    (1)ARM Foundation v8 model
