x86: Allow a hardcoded TSC frequency provided by Kconfig
By default U-Boot automatically calibrates TSC running frequency via MSR and PIT. The calibration may not work on every x86 processor, so a new Kconfig option CONFIG_TSC_CALIBRATION_BYPASS is introduced to allow bypassing the calibration and assign a hardcoded TSC frequency CONFIG_TSC_FREQ_IN_MHZ. Normally the bypass should be turned on in a simulation environment like qemu. Signed-off-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com> Acked-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
