[PATCH v4 0/2] Use GCR.U timer device as clocksource

This series adds bindings for the GCR.U timer device and corresponding
driver support. Accessing the memory mapped mtime register in the GCR.U
region should be faster than trapping to M mode each time the timer
needs to be read.

Changes in v4:
- Remove "select" from mti,gcru.yaml.
- Refactor the driver to use function pointers instead of static keys.
