This patch adds a new clock event for the timer
found on the Mediatek SoCs.

The Mediatek System Timer has several 32-bit timers.
Only one timer is used by this driver as a clock event
supporting oneshot events.

The System Timer can be run with two clocks. A 13 MHz system
clock and the RTC clock running at 32 KHz. This implementation
uses the system clock with no clock source divider.

Recent platforms have the arch_arm_timer and it will be always selected.

What is the benefit of adding this timer ?
