Subject: [PATCH v8 4/6] clocksource: stm32: only use 32 bits timers

The clock driving counters is at 90MHz so the maximum period
for 16 bis counters is around 750 ms which is a short period
for a clocksource. For 32 bits counters this period is close
47 secondes which is more acceptable.

This patch remove 16 bits counters support and makes sure that
they won't be probed anymore.
