ARM: 6107/1: plat-nomadik: use the MTU clocksrc for sched_clock
This provides some serious scheduling for the Nomadik family by introducing a sched_clock() using the MTU clock source in the same manner as e.g. OMAP or U300. This type of solutions has been discussed at no end in the past, however we need this resolution for making measurements and using HRTimers.
