For a CPU to enter an idle state, some timer must be available to trigger an IRQ and wake it back up. The local ARM architectural timer is not sufficient, because that timer stops when the CPU is powered down. The ARM architectural timer from some other CPU can be used, but doing so prevents that other CPU from entering an idle state. For all CPUs to power down at the same time, Linux needs a timer which is not tied to any CPU. Hook up the "sun4i" timer so it can be used for this purpose. It runs at 24 MHz, which balances resolution and power consumption. Signed-off-by:
