[linux-yocto] [PATCH 07/21] arm: arch_timer: Avoid error in sched_clock conversion

From: Anders Berg <anders.berg at intel.com>
Fix sched_clock setup to handle conversions of sched_clock when the frequency
of the clock doesn't evenly divide NSEC_PER_SEC.
To handle this, the conversion from clock ticks to nanoseconds must be done via
a multiplication and a shift (to avoid divide). The appropriate multiplication
and shift factors are computed using the helper from kernel/clocksource.c
