The I/O base address for the timers was hardcoded into the driver,
or derived from the HW IRQ number as an even more horrible hack. All
supported SoC families have these timers, but with hardcoded addresses
the code cannot be reused right now.
Request the timer's base address from the DT specification, and store it
in a private struct for future reference.
Matching the second interrupt specifier, the address range for the
second timer is added to the DT specification.

The RTL9300 has a broken R4K MIPS timer interrupt, however, the
R4K clocksource works. We replace the RTL9300 timer with a
Clock Event Timer (CEVT), which is VSMP aware and can be instantiated
as part of brining a VSMTP cpu up instead of the R4K CEVT source.
For this we place the RTL9300 CEVT timer in arch/mips/kernel
together with other MIPS CEVT timers, initialize the SoC IRQs
from a modified smp-mt.c and instantiate each timer as part
of the MIPS time setup in arch/mips/include/asm/time.h instead
of the R4K CEVT, similarly as is done by other MIPS CEVT timers.
