The timer controller can be driven by either an external 1MHz clock or
by the APB clock. Today, the model makes the assumption that the APB
frequency is always set to 24MHz but this is incorrect.
The AST2400 SoC on the palmetto machines uses a 48MHz input clock
source and the APB can be set to 48MHz. The consequence is a general
system slowdown. The QEMU machines using the AST2500 SoC do not seem
impacted today because the APB frequency is still set to 24MHz.
We fix the timer frequency for all SoCs by linking the Timer model to
the SCU model. The APB frequency driving the timers is now the one
configured for the SoC.

Value matching allows Linux to boot with CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE=y on the
palmetto-bmc machine. Two match registers are provided for each timer.

Implement basic ASPEED timer functionality for the AST2400 SoC[1]: Up to
8 timers can independently be configured, enabled, reset and disabled.
Some hardware features are not implemented, namely clock value matching
and pulse generation, but the implementation is enough to boot the Linux
kernel configured with aspeed_defconfig.
