Subject: [PATCH v3 2/6] 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.

An event stream might be used:
- To impose a time-out on a WFE polling loop.
- To safeguard against any programming error in case an expected event
  is not generated.
- To implement wfe-based timeouts for userspace locking implementations.

This patch only computes the event stream frequency, aiming for a period
of 100us between events. ARM/ARM64 specific backends needs to configure
and enable the event stream using this frequency.
