ARM: ks8695: convert to generic time and clocksource
Old platforms using ancient gettimeoffset() and other arcane APIs are standing in the way of cleaning up the ARM kernel. The gettimeoffset() was also broken: it would try to read out the timer counter value, while this would not work (the counter statically returns the initially programmed value) so the implementation would anyway fall back to a homebrew version of jiffie calculation. This is an attempt at blind-coding a generic time and clocksource driver for the platform by way of a datasheet and looking at the old code.
