The stm32 timer hardware is currently only used as a clock event device,
but it can be utilized as a clocksource as well.

Implement this by enabling the free running counter in the hardware block
and converting the clock event part from a count down event timer to a
comparator based timer.

Split this patch in two:
 - periodic support
 - clocksource support

No because the way of implementing periodic support depend of how clocksource
part is implemented on the hardware.
I don't want to code functions that I will completely remove just after

Sorry, I don't get it. Can you elaborate please ?

To add clocksource support I use the counter part of the hardware
which was before
used for clockevent and make clockevent use the comparator instead.
So implementing periodic on counter side of the hardware is a waste of
time because
I will to remove right after
