Please remove the clock-frequency property. Your FW should initialise
CNTFRQ_EL0 on all CPUs (certainly PSCI 0.2 requires that you do this).
Since this comes up regularly, I think we need a dev_warn() in the arch
timer driver when CONFIG_ARM64.
I'll ack such a patch ;)
How rude would this be?

Probably too rude, given it doesn't WARN() the user.

We should be extremely loud if we see the clock-frequency property on an
arm64 system. Whether or not we should ignore the property is another
matter.
