The currently used method adjusting the clocksource to a changing input
frequency does not work on kernels from 3.11 on.
The new approach is to keep the timer frequency as constant as possible.
I.e.
- due to the TTC's prescaler limitations, allow frequency changes
only if the frequency scales by a power of 2
- adjust the counter's divider on the fly when a frequency change
occurs
This limits cpufreq to scale by certain factors only.
But we may keep the time base somewhat constant, so that sleep() & co
keep working as expected, while supporting cpufreq.

The timer core takes care of serialization and IRQs. Hence the driver is
no longer required to disable interrupts when calling
clockevents_update_freq().

We are in an interrupt context (IPI) and we are calling clk_get_rate in the
set_mode function which in turn ends up by getting a mutex... Even if that
does not hang, it is a potential kernel deadlock.
It is not allowed to call clk_get_rate() from interrupt context. To
avoid such calls the timer input frequency is stored in the driver's
data struct which makes it accessible to the driver in any context.
[dlezcano] completed the changelog with the WARN trace and added a more
detailed description. Tested on zync zc702.
