450dd430bf ARC: [DeviceTree] Convert some Kconfig items to runtime values
* mem size now runtime configured (prev CONFIG_ARC_PLAT_SDRAM_SIZE)
* core cpu clk runtime configured (prev CONFIG_ARC_PLAT_CLK)

d8005e6b95 ARC: Timers/counters/delay management
ARC700 includes 2 in-core 32bit timers TIMER0 and TIMER1.
Both have exactly same capabilies.

* programmable to count from TIMER<n>_CNT to TIMER<n>_LIMIT
* for count 0 and LIMIT ~1, provides a free-running counter by
    auto-wrapping when limit is reached.
* optionally interrupt when LIMIT is reached (oneshot event semantics)
* rearming the interrupt provides periodic semantics
* run at CPU clk

ARC Linux uses TIMER0 for clockevent (periodic/oneshot) and TIMER1 for
clocksource (free-running clock).

Newer cores provide RTSC insn which gives a 64bit cpu clk snapshot hence
is more apt for clocksource when available.

SMP poses a bit of challenge for global timekeeping clocksource /
sched_clock() backend:
 -TIMER1 based local clocks are out-of-sync hence can't be used
  (thus we default to jiffies based cs as well as sched_clock() one/both
  of which platform can override with it's specific hardware assist)
 -RTSC is only allowed in SMP if it's cross-core-sync (Kconfig glue
  ensures that) and thus usable for both requirements.
