You inspired me for patches to remove some redundant if (acpi_disabled)
check for the current ACPI code, but this function will be called even
ACPI is disabled.

I'm trying to do that but it is wrong as you said, I will remove above code
and only keep

arch_timer_rate = arch_timer_get_cntfrq() here.

Yes, you are right, I will use the ACPI core function acpi_table_parse()
to fix it, thanks for you guidance.
