Exynos Multi Core Timer version 2 is a new main system timer of next Exynos SoC.
Exynos MCT v2 consists of 1 64bit FRC(Free Running Counter) and 12 comparators.
Each comaprator produces interrupt when the value of current FRC + periods value matches with the
increasinig value of FRC.
So, 12 comaprators can be used as per-cpu event timer.
And RTC can be used as a backup clock source.

Changes in v2:
  - Add config dependency with ARCH_EXYNOS.
  - Remove 32bit of "mct-frc" which was used as a clock source in legacy SoC.
    (Currently, clock source was replaced with ARM arch timer)
  - Fix non-linux style comments and debug messege.
  - Fix license comments.
  - Update commit messege a bit to make it clear.
