Subject: [PATCH 1/4] drivers: clocksource: configure event stream for ARM arch timer

From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@....com>

The ARM architected timer can generate events (used for waking up
CPUs executing the wfe instruction) at a frequency represented as a
power-of-2 divisor of the clock rate.

This patch configures the event stream, aiming for a period of 100us
between events. This can be used to implement wfe-based timeouts for
userspace locking implementations.
