Subject: [PATCH v2 0/7] Add module support for Arm64 Exynos MCT driver

This series adds support to build the Arm64 Exynos MCT driver as a module. This
is only possible on Arm64 SoCs since they can use the Arm architected timer as
the clocksource. Once the Exynos MCT module is loaded and the device probes,
the MCT is used as the wakeup source for the arch_timer to ensure the device
can wakeup from the "c2" idle state.

These patches are originally from the downstream Pixel 6 (gs101) kernel found
at [1] and have been adapted for upstream. Not only has the Exynos MCT driver
been shipping as a module in the field with Android, but I've also tested this
seris with the upstream kernel on my Pixel 6 Pro.

Thanks,
Will

Note1, instructions to build and flash a Pixel 6 device with the upstream kernel
can be found at [2].

Note2, this series is based off of linux-next/master commit 405e2241def8 ("Add
linux-next specific files for 20250331").

Changes in v2:
- Re-worked patch v1 5 based on Rob Herring's review to use the compatible data
  for retrieving the mct_init function pointer.
- Updated the Kconfig logic to disallow building the Exynos MCT driver as
  a module for ARM32 configurations based on Krzysztof Kozlowski's findings.
- Added comments and clarified commit messages in patches 1 and 2 based on
  reviews from John Stultz and Youngmin Nam.
- Fixed an issue found during testing that resulted in the device getting
  stuck on boot. This is included in v2 as patch 5.
- Collected *-by tags
- Rebased to the latest linux-next/master.
