SBI spec only defines the mechanism to enter HART suspend state. All
other details (such as timer interrupt firing during/after suspend) are platform
or implementation specific which needs to be discovered from DT/ACPI.

Just like ARM, we need a DT property to discover this platform specific
behaviour.

I had sent out a small series to do this for DT.
Refer, "[PATCH v2 0/2] Improve CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP feature setting"
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20220727114302.302201-1-apatel@ventanamicro.com/

Yes, I recall CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP was added for C906 but
we should go the DT/ACPI route.
