<title>armv8: implement workaround for broken CNTFRQ_EL0 value</title>

<id>c9b43591ea5c63d09310713068d9aa7a924ab983</id>
<content type='text'>
In devices where the U-Boot is used as a secondary bootloader, we rely
on the device's primary bootloader to implement CNTFRQ_EL0. However,
this reliance may lead to a non-functional timer in broken firmware.

For instance, some versions of Samsung's S-Boot don't implement it. It's
also not possible to set it in the U-Boot, because it's booted in a lower
exception level. CNTFRQ_EL0 is reported to be 0.

Use gd-&gt;arch.timer_rate_hz to override the queried value if set. This
setting needs to be done in the board file, preferrably in timer_init().
This feature is present only when the CONFIG_ARMV8_CNTFRQ_BROKEN is
enabled.

When bringing in the series 'arm: dts: am62-beagleplay: Fix Beagleplay
Ethernet"' I failed to notice that b4 noticed it was based on next and
so took that as the base commit and merged that part of next to master.

This reverts commit c8ffd1356d42223cbb8c86280a083cc3c93e6426, reversing
changes made to 2ee6f3a5f7550de3599faef9704e166e5dcace35.

<title>armv8: generic_timer: Use event stream for udelay</title>

Polling cntpct_el0 in a tight loop for delays is inefficient.
This is particularly apparent on Arm FVPs, which do not simulate
real time, meaning that a 1s sleep can take a couple of orders
of magnitude longer to execute in wall time.

If running at EL2 or above (where CNTHCTL_EL2 is available), enable
the cntpct_el0 event stream temporarily and use wfe to implement
the delay more efficiently. The event period is chosen as a
trade-off between efficiency and the fact that Arm FVPs do not
typically simulate real time.

This is only implemented for Armv8 boards, where an architectural
timer exists, and only enabled by default for the ARCH_VEXPRESS64
board family.

Use the notrace attribute so that timer functions can be used when
tracing. This is required to avoid infinite loops when recording a trace.

Move this out of the common header and include it only where needed.  In
a number of cases this requires adding "struct udevice;" to avoid adding
another large header or in other cases replacing / adding missing header
files that had been pulled in, very indirectly.   Finally, we have a few
cases where we did not need to include &lt;asm/global_data.h&gt; at all, so
remove that include.
