[PATCH v7 3/6] clocksource: stm32: increase min delta value

The CPU is a CortexM4 @ 200MHZ and the clocks driving
the timers are at 90MHZ with a min delta at 1 you could
have an interrupt each 0.01 ms which is really to much.
By increase it to 0x60 it give more time (around 1 ms)
to CPU to handle the interrupt.
