Subject: [PATCH V3 2/5] clocksource/drivers/sysctr: Add clock-frequency property

From: Anson Huang <Anson.Huang@....com>

Systems which use platform driver model for clock driver require the
clock frequency to be supplied via device tree when system counter
driver is enabled.

This is necessary as in the platform driver model the of_clk operations
do not work correctly because system counter driver is initialized in
early phase of system boot up, and clock driver using platform driver
model is NOT ready at that time, it will cause system counter driver
initialization failed.

Add clock-frequency property to the device tree bindings of the NXP
system counter, so the driver can tell timer-of driver to get clock
frequency from DT directly instead of doing of_clk operations via
clk APIs.

Changes since V2:
	- make clock-frequency property as required property, mutually exclusive with clocks/clock-names.
	- update the example using the DT node added in this patch series.
