This is useful to get an indication of how much time we spent in firmware.
It's not guaranteed that the timer started at 0 on reset, so it's just
an approximation, and might very well be invalid on some systems. But
it's still a useful metric to have access to.

arch_timer_banner() is called before arch_counter_register() where the
arch_timer_read_counter() function pointer is set.
Perhaps the arch_timer_banner() and arch_counter_register() should be swapped in
arch_timer_common_init().

That would make sense to me.

Our tiemrs should be precise enough to give us a few more digits here
(e.g. down to ns, like printk). Are there any helpers we can use to do
that?
It would also be nice to log which counter we're reading from.
Thanks,
Mark.
