MIPS: Netlogic: Use PIC timer as a clocksource
The XLR/XLS/XLP PIC has a 8 countdown timers which run at the PIC frequencey. One of these can be used as a clocksource to provide timestamps that is common across cores. This can be used in place of the count/compare clocksource which is per-CPU. On XLR/XLS PIC registers are 32-bit, so we just use the lower 32-bits of the PIC counter. On XLP, the whole 64-bit can be used. Provide common macros and functions for PIC timer registers on XLR/XLS and XLP, and use them to register a PIC clocksource.
