Subject: [PATCH soc/next] ARM: BCM53573: Add custom init_time with arch timer workaroud

From: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@...ecki.pl>

BCM53573 uses ARM architected timer but CFE (bootloader) is bugged and
doesn't setup hardware properly. As the architecture requirement clock
should be enabled and CNTFRQ should be set before starting Linux.

Unfortunately it's impossible to have CFE fixed and updated on all
released devices. There are plenty of them on the market and updating
bootloader isn't a standard procedure. We also don't have CFE sources
for BCM53573 devices and no replacement bootloader.

We can't modify arch timer to simply accept specifying clock. Quoting
Mark: "The clock-frequency property is at best a dodgy workaround, and
this is even worse.". Marc also noted that other subsystems may rely on
CNTFRQ as well.

The only sane workaround seems to be fixing this CFE bug in BCM53573
arch code. It doesn't require modifying other drivers and should allow
all subsystems to work correctly.
