Subject: [PATCH v4 6/7] clocksource: mips-gic-timer: Register as sched_clock

From: Paul Burton <paulburton@...nel.org>

The MIPS GIC timer is well suited for use as sched_clock, so register it
as such.

Whilst the existing gic_read_count() function matches the prototype
needed by sched_clock_register() already, we split it into 2 functions
in order to remove the need to evaluate the mips_cm_is64 condition
within each call since sched_clock should be as fast as possible.

Note the sched clock framework needs the clock source being stable in
order to rely on it. So we register the MIPS GIC timer as schedule clocks
only if it's, if either the system doesn't have CPU-frequency enabled or
the CPU frequency is changed by means of the CPC core clock divider
available on the platforms with CM3 or newer.

Changelog v3:
- Register sched clocks only if MIPS GIC belongs to CM3 or if CPU-freq
  isn't supported.
