[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/5] x86: timer: tsc: Allow specifying clock rate from device tree again

[Bin Meng]

With the introduction of early timer support in the TSC driver,
the capability of getting clock rate from device tree was lost
unfortunately. Now we bring such functionality back, but with a
limitation that when TSC is used as early timer, specifying clock
rate from device tree does not work.

This fixes random boot failures seen on QEMU targets: printing "TSC
frequency is ZERO" and reset forever.
