TIM is a hardware block in Octeon TX2 DPU, which is used to generate events
like timeout (used in packet processing). TIM input needs to be configured with a
clock source for its working, but TIM does not act as a clock source. Supported
clocks for input are TENNS, GPIOS, GTI, PTP, SYNC, BTS and MIO. Devlink
parameters added in this patch are to configure TIM and won't be changing the
clock sources. 

We won't be able to use PTP subsystem here as the changes are specific to TIM.
