Seems like timer_init() isn't implemented on Arria 10 (it defaults to
the return 0 stub). I also tried dm_timer_init(), no luck.

I did some code digging, the clock rate is read by clk_get_rate(), and
the timer rate is set by dw_apb_timer_probe()
(drivers/timer/dw-apb-timer.c:77), and there doesn't seem to be a good
way of updating that value later.

The only other function I could find that sets the timer rate is
timer_pre_probe() from drivers/timer/timer-uclass.c, which very much
looks like what we need, but it's static and the name suggests it
shouldn't be called manually anyway.

Regards,
Paweł
