timer: Provide an early timer
In some cases the timer must be accessible before driver model is active. Examples include when using CONFIG_TRACE to trace U-Boot's execution before driver model is set up. Enable this option to use an early timer. These functions must be supported by your timer driver: timer_early_get_count() and timer_early_get_rate(). Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
