[PATCH RFC 2/3] clocksource/cadence_ttc: Make clocksource optional

[Soren Brinkmann]

On some platforms, like Zynq, the input clock for the TTC is directly
derived from the CPU clock, which means it scales when cpufreq adjusts
the CPU frequency.
At the same time the clocksource core expects a clocksource to be
stable and doesn't allow frequency adjustments.

Therefore a new flag - 'input-clock-unstable' - is added to the DT
bindings for this driver. In case the flag is present the driver does
not register the timer as clocksource.
