Subject: [PATCH v2] clocksource: exynos-mct: Register the timer for stable udelay

This patch register the exynos mct clocksource as the current timer
as it has constant clock rate. This will generate correct udelay for the
exynos platform and avoid using unnecessary calibrated jiffies. This change
has been tested on exynos5420 based board and udelay is very close to
expected.

Signed-off-by: Amit Daniel Kachhap <amit.daniel@...sung.com>

Changes in V2:
* Added #defines for ARM and ARM64 as pointed by Doug Anderson.

Patches from David Riley confirmed that udelay is broken in exynos5420.
