Subject: [PATCH] clocksource/drivers/exynos_mct: Support using only local timer

The ARTPEC-8 SoC has a quad-core Cortex-A53 and a single-core Cortex-A5
which share one MCT with one global and eight local timers.

The Cortex-A53 boots first and starts the global FRC and also registers
a clock events device using the global timer.  (This global timer clock
events is usually replaced by arch timer clock events for each of the
cores.)

When the A5 boots, we should not use the global timer interrupts or
write to the global timer registers.  This is because even if there are
four global comparators, the control bits for all four are in the same
registers, and we would need to synchronize between the cpus.  Instead,
the global timer FRC (already started by the A53) should be used as the
clock source, and one of the local timers which are not used by the A53
can be used for clock events on the A5.

To support this, add a module param to set the local timer starting
index.  If this parameter is non-zero, the global timer clock events
device is not registered and we don't write to the global FRC if it is
already started.
