Mugunthan V N c833697538 dm: timer: uclass: add timer init in uclass driver to add timer device
Adding timer init function in timer-uclass driver to create and
initialize the timer device on platforms where u-boot,dm-pre-reloc
is not used. Since there will be multiple timer devices in the
system, adding a tick-timer node in chosen node to know which
timer device to be used as tick timer in u-boot.

The chosen node
---------------
The chosen node does not represent a real device, but serves as a place
for passing data like which serial device to used to print the logs etc
stdout-path property
--------------------
Device trees may specify the device to be used for boot console output
with a stdout-path property under /chosen.
Example
-------
/ {
chosen {
stdout-path = "/serial@f00:115200";
};
serial@f00 {
compatible = "vendor,some-uart";
reg = <0xf00 0x10>;
};
};
tick-timer property
-------------------
In a system there are multiple timers, specify which timer to be used
as the tick-timer. Earlier it was hardcoded in the timer driver now
since device tree has all the timer nodes. Specify which timer to be
used as tick timer.
Example
-------
/ {
chosen {
tick-timer = "/timer2@f00";
};
timer2@f00 {
compatible = "vendor,some-timer";
reg = <0xf00 0x10>;
};
};
