This will be needed for switching to linear irq domain as
irq_create_mapping() called by intr code needs the IRQ numbers
in addition to existing usage in mcip.c for requesting the irq

- Remove explicit clocksource setup and let it be done by OF framework
  by defining CLOCKSOURCE_OF_DECLARE() for various timers

- This allows multiple clocksources to be potentially registered
  simultaneouly: previously we could only do one - as all of them had
  same arc_counter_setup() routine for registration

- Setup routines also ensure that the underlying timer actually exists.

- Remove some of the panic() calls if underlying timer is NOT detected as
  fallback clocksource might still be available
  1. If GRFC doesn't exist, jiffies clocksource gets registered anyways
  2. if RTC doesn't exist, TIMER1 can take over (as it is always
     present)

This was more relevant during SMP bringup.

The warning for bogus msg better be visible always.

<title>ARCv2: Elide sending new cross core intr if receiver didn't ack prev</title>

ARConnect/MCIP IPI sending has a retry-wait loop in case caller had
not seen a previous such interrupt. Turns out that it is not needed at
all. Linux cross core calling allows coalescing multiple IPIs to same
receiver - it is fine as long as there is one.

This logic is built into upper layer already, at a higher level of
abstraction. ipi_send_msg_one() sets the actual msg payload, but it only
calls MCIP IPI sending if msg holder was empty (using
atomic-set-new-and-get-old construct). Thus it is unlikely that the
retry-wait looping was ever getting exercised at all.

<title>ARCv2: SMP: Emulate IPI to self using software triggered interrupt</title>

<id>bb143f814ea488769ca2e79e0b376139cb5f134b</id>
<content type='text'>
ARConnect/MCIP Inter-Core-Interrupt module can't send interrupt to
local core. So use core intc capability to trigger software
interrupt to self, using an unsued IRQ #21.

This showed up as csd deadlock with LTP trace_sched on a dual core
system. This test acts as scheduler fuzzer, triggering all sorts of
schedulting activity. Trouble starts with IPI to self, which doesn't get
delivered (effectively lost due to H/w capability), but the msg intended
to be sent remain enqueued in per-cpu @ipi_data.

All subsequent IPIs to this core from other cores get elided due to the
IPI coalescing optimization in ipi_send_msg_one() where a pending msg
implies an IPI already sent and assumes other core is yet to ack it.
After the elided IPI, other core simply goes into csd_lock_wait()
but never comes out as this core never sees the interrupt.

Fixes STAR 9001008624
