This series contains a couple of bug fixes for the PXA168 timer. The
clock wasn't assigned in pxa168.dtsi which eventually resulted in a hang
at every boot after the clock was disabled. Also, the timer read
function wasn't waiting long enough to capture the new timer value,
which resulted in erroneous high CPU usage percent being reported with
CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE=y.
I don't have any other MMP systems to test with, but I suspect the timer
read delay problem also affected them. For example, the OLPC XO-4 kernel
disabled CONFIG_NO_HZ due to incorrect high CPU usage reporting:

CCing soc at kernel.org because I didn't receive any responses when I
submitted these last time and was hoping these fixes could get merged.
