We already have arch_timer_get_cntfrq(), so I don't see the point in
this wrapper.

Wrapping the MMIO read makes sense if we're going to do this in more
than one place, so I'm happy with this wrapper.

If you can s/arch_timer_get_mmio_freq/arch_timer_get_cntfrq/, and drop
the comments, then this looks fine to me.

Thanks,
