[PATCH v7 1/4] arm64: arch_timer: Add device tree binding for hisilicon-161601 erratum

This erratum describes a bug in logic outside the core, so MIDR can't be used to identify its presence, and reading an SoC-specific revision register from common arch timer code would be awkward. So, describe it in the device tree.
