On MediaTek platforms, CPUXGPT is the source for the AArch64 System
Timer, read through CNTVCT_EL0.
The handling for starting this timer ASAP was introduced in commit
327e93cf9a ("clocksource/drivers/timer-mediatek: Implement CPUXGPT timers")
which description also contains an important full explanation of the
reasons why this driver is necessary and cannot be a module.
In preparation for an eventual conversion of timer-mediatek to a
platform_driver that would be possibly built as a module, split out
the CPUXGPT timers driver to a new timer-mediatek-cpux.c driver.
This commit brings no functional changes.
