clocksource: apb: Share APB timer code with other platforms
The APB timers are an IP block from Synopsys (DesignWare APB timers) and are also found in other systems including ARM SoC's. This patch adds functions for creating clock_event_devices and clocksources from APB timers but does not do the resource allocation. This is handled in a higher layer to allow the timers to be created from multiple methods such as platform_devices. Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: "H.

APB timer is the replacement for 8254, HPET on X86 MID platforms.
The APBT provides a stable time base on SMP
