[PATCH 01/25] ptimer: Add new ptimer_set_period_from_clock() function

[Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>]

The ptimer API currently provides two methods for setting the period:
ptimer_set_period(), which takes a period in nanoseconds, and
ptimer_set_freq(), which takes a frequency in Hz.  Neither of these
lines up nicely with the Clock API, because although both the Clock
and the ptimer track the frequency using a representation of whole
and fractional nanoseconds, conversion via either period-in-ns or
frequency-in-Hz will introduce a rounding error.

Add a new function ptimer_set_period_from_clock() which takes the
Clock object directly to avoid the rounding issues.  This includes a
facility for the user to specify that there is a frequency divider
between the Clock proper and the timer, as some timer devices like
the CMSDK APB dualtimer need this.

To avoid having to drag in clock.h from ptimer.h we add the Clock
type to typedefs.h.

Side note, I forget why we didn't go for 64.32 fixedpoint for the
Clock too.  I kinda feel we might run into the "clocks can't handle
periods greater than 4 seconds" limit some day.  Hopefully we can
backwards-compatibly expand it if that day ever comes...

The 'divisor' functionality seemed like the simplest way to get
to what I needed for the dualtimer; perhaps we should think about
whether we can have generic lightweight support for clock
frequency divider/multipliers...
