Subject: [RFC PATCH v4 3/4] virtio_rtc: Add Arm Generic Timer cross-timestamping

Add PTP_SYS_OFFSET_PRECISE2 support on platforms using the Arm Generic
Timer.

Always report the CP15 virtual counter as the HW counter in use by
arm_arch_timer, since the Linux kernel's usage of the Arm Generic Timer
should always be compatible with this.

Signed-off-by: Peter Hilber <quic_philber@...cinc.com>

Notes:
    v4:
    
    - Update names and types to spec v6.
    
    v2:
    
    - Depend on prerequisite patch series "treewide: Use clocksource id for
      get_device_system_crosststamp()".
    
    - Return clocksource id instead of calling dropped arm_arch_timer helpers.
    
    - Always report the CP15 virtual counter to be in use by arm_arch_timer,
      since distinction of Arm physical and virtual counter appears unneeded
      after discussion with Marc Zyngier.
