[ Upstream commit 7a3b8758bd6e45f7b671723b5c9fa2b69d0787ae ]

Compile-testing the ixp4xx timer with CONFIG_OF enabled but
CONFIG_TIMER_OF disabled leads to a harmless warning:

arm-linux-gnueabi-ld: warning: orphan section `__timer_of_table' from `drivers/clocksource/timer-ixp4xx.o' being placed in section `__timer_of_table'

Move the select statement from the platform code into the driver
so it always gets enabled in configurations that rely on it.

<title>RISC-V: Remove CLINT related code from timer and arch</title>

<content type='text'>
Right now the RISC-V timer driver is convoluted to support:
1. Linux RISC-V S-mode (with MMU) where it will use TIME CSR for
   clocksource and SBI timer calls for clockevent device.
2. Linux RISC-V M-mode (without MMU) where it will use CLINT MMIO
   counter register for clocksource and CLINT MMIO compare register
   for clockevent device.

We now have a separate CLINT timer driver which also provide CLINT
based IPI operations so let's remove CLINT MMIO related code from
arch/riscv directory and RISC-V timer driver.

<content type='text'>
We add a separate CLINT timer driver for Linux RISC-V M-mode (i.e.
RISC-V NoMMU kernel).

The CLINT MMIO device provides three things:
1. 64bit free running counter register
2. 64bit per-CPU time compare registers
3. 32bit per-CPU inter-processor interrupt registers

Unlike other timer devices, CLINT provides IPI registers along with
timer registers. To use CLINT IPI registers, the CLINT timer driver
provides IPI related callbacks to arch/riscv.

Implement clock event driver using low power STM32 timers.
Low power timer counters running even when CPUs are stopped.
It could be used as clock event broadcaster to wake up CPUs but not like
a clocksource because each it rise an interrupt the counter restart from 0.

Low power timers have a 16 bits counter and a prescaler which allow to
divide the clock per power of 2 to up 128 to target a 32KHz rate.

Low power timers have a 16 bits counter and a prescaler which allow to
divide the clock per power of 2 to up 128 to target a 32KHz rate.

<title>clocksource: mips-gic-timer: Mark GIC timer as unstable if ref clock changes</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently clocksource framework doesn't support the clocks with variable
frequency. Since MIPS GIC timer ticks rate might be unstable on some
platforms, we must make sure that it justifies the clocksource
requirements. MIPS GIC timer is incremented with the CPU cluster reference
clocks rate. So in case if CPU frequency changes, the MIPS GIC tick rate
changes synchronously. Due to this the clocksource subsystem can't rely on
the timer to measure system clocks anymore. This commit marks the MIPS GIC
based clocksource as unstable if reference clock (normally it's a CPU
reference clocks) rate changes. The clocksource will execute a watchdog
thread, which lowers the MIPS GIC timer rating to zero and fallbacks to a
new stable one.

Note we don't need to set the CLOCK_SOURCE_MUST_VERIFY flag to the MIPS
GIC clocksource since normally the timer is stable. The only reason why
it gets unstable is due to the ref clock rate change, which event we
detect here in the driver by means of the clocks event notifier.

Since commit 2f8a26c166eb ("clocksource: Improve GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS
dependency") all clocksource drivers depend on GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS so
drop the redundant attribute from the RDA-timer entry which was added
later.
