[PATCH v4] timer: Add a migration message

[PATCH v4] timer: Add a migration message

[Simon Glass]

Some boards still use the old timer mechanism. Set a deadline for them to
update to driver model. Point to some examples as well.

This needs a bit of a strange rule to avoid an error on some boards.

Changes in v4:
- Fix alsol typo

Changes in v3:
- Push out the deadline
