The TI dual-mode timer can be used for both clocksource and clockevent system timers. We need a way to specify which dual-mode timers are reserved for system timers as there are multiple instances available that may require a board specific configuration. Let's add a generic compatible "ti,dmtimer" that TIMER_OF_DECLARE can use as suggested by Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@linaro.org>.
