Subject: [PATCH v2] clocksource/fsl: Fix errata A-007728 for flextimer

If the FTM counter reaches the FTM_MOD value between the reading of the
TOF bit and the writing of 0 to the TOF bit, the process of clearing the
TOF bit does not work as expected when FTMx_CONF[NUMTOF] != 0 and the
current TOF count is less than FTMx_CONF[NUMTOF]. If the above condition
is met, the TOF bit remains set. If the TOF interrupt is enabled
(FTMx_SC[TOIE] = 1), the TOF interrupt also remains asserted.

Above is the errata discription

The workaround is clearing TOF bit until it is cleaned(FTM counter doesn't
always reache the FTM_MOD anyway),which may cost some cycles.

Change in V2:
-add timeout into IRQ context(suggested by Alexander)
