[PATCH v3 2/6] timer: Add Goldfish timer driver

[Kuan-Wei Chiu <visitorckw@gmail.com>]

Add support for the Goldfish timer driver. This driver utilizes the
Goldfish RTC hardware to provide a nanosecond-resolution timer. This
virtual device is commonly found in QEMU virtual machines (such as the
m68k virt machine) and Android emulators.

The driver implements the standard U-Boot timer UCLASS interface,
exposing a 64-bit monotonically increasing counter with a 1GHz clock
rate derived from the RTC registers.

Changes in v3:
- New patch.

The link provided by Daniel [1] returned a 404 error.
Since the implementation is straightforward, I wrote this driver from
scratch.
