RISC-V privileged architecture v1.10 defines a real-time counter, exposed as a memory-mapped machine-mode register - mtime. mtime must run at constant frequency, and the platform must provide a mechanism for determining the timebase of mtime. The mtime register has a 64-bit precision on all RV32, RV64, and RV128 systems. Different platform may have different implementation of the mtime block hence an API riscv_get_time() is required by this driver for platform codes to hide such implementation details. For example, on some platforms mtime is provided by the CLINT module, while on some other platforms a simple 'rdtime' can be used to get the timer counter. With this timer driver the U-Boot timer functionalities like delay works correctly now.
