This reverts commit 232ccac1bd9b5bfe73895f527c08623e7fa0752d.

On the subject of suspend, the RISC-V SBI spec states:
> Request the SBI implementation to put the calling hart in a platform
> specific suspend (or low power) state specified by the suspend_type
> parameter. The hart will automatically come out of suspended state and
> resume normal execution when it receives an interrupt or platform
> specific hardware event.

This does not cover whether any given events actually reach the hart or
not, just what the hart will do if it receives an event. On PolarFire
SoC, and potentially other SiFive based implementations, events from the
RISC-V timer do reach a hart during suspend. This is not the case for
the implementation on the Allwinner D1 - there timer events are not
received during suspend.

To fix this, the C3STOP feature was enabled for the timer driver -
but this has broken both RCU stall detection and timers generally on
PolarFire SoC (and potentially other SiFive based implementations).

If an AXI read to the PCIe controller on PolarFire SoC times out, the
system will stall, however, with this patch applied, the system just
locks up without RCU stalling:

Similarly issues were reported with clock_nanosleep() - with a test app
that sleeps each cpu for 6, 5, 4, 3 ms respectively, HZ=250 & the blamed
commit in place, the sleep times are rounded up to the next jiffy:

Fortunately, the D1 has a second timer, which is "currently used in
preference to the RISC-V/SBI timer driver" so a revert here does not
hurt operation of D1 in its current form.

Ultimately, a DeviceTree property (or node) will be added to encode the
behaviour of the timers, but until then revert the addition of
CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP.
