So far there is no need for a clock driver in U-Boot because the
previous boot stage leaves all the necessary clocks on. However,
some drivers in U-Boot (e.g. arm_pl180_mmci) depend on having a clock
driver to obtain the clock frequency.
Setting up the clock drivers properly is a bit tricky on U8500,
so for now add a simple fixed-clock for the eMMC that allows obtaining
the clock frequency. This should be replaced eventually if some board
actually requires enabling some of the clocks.

The NovaThor U8500 SoC was released by ST-Ericsson in 2011.
It was used for some development boards like the CALAO Systems
Snowball SBC, but mass production was primarily for Android
smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S III mini.
Previous support for U8500 was removed in
commit 68282f55b8 ("arm: Remove unused ST-Ericsson u8500 arch")
since none of the boards were converted to generic boards
before the deadline.
The new code does not have much in common with the previous code.
I have completely rewritten everything, embracing the Driver Model
and device trees wherever possible.
The U8500 support is a bit more minimal for now - my primary
use case is to use U-Boot as alternative bootloader for some of the
U8500 Samsung smartphones. At the moment U-Boot is chain-loaded from
the original Samsung bootloader. A side effect of this is that we
can (temporarily) get away without implementing some functionality
- e.g. all clocks are already enabled by the original bootloader.
More functionality will be added in future patches.
