The clocksource and the sched_clock provided by the arm_global_timer
are quite unstable because their rates depend on the cpu frequency.

On the other side, the arm_global_timer has a higher rating than the
rockchip_timer, it will be selected by default by the time framework
while we want to use the stable rockchip clocksource.

Let's disable the arm_global_timer in order to have the rockchip
clocksource selected by default.

if needed.

Later on we might need to look at the rk3066 as well, as it might have the 
same issue.
