If the core's CNTFRQ register does not hold the correct value, that is a
horrendous firmware bug. The clock-frequency property in the DT is a
horrific workaround for buggy firmware.

We should not duplicate it in ACPI; people should be strongly encouraged
to fix their firmware to do what it is supposed to do.

Rely on CNTFRQ only. If it is wrong, then bail out. Let's not create a
fertile environment for buggy firmware.

This pattern looks like it can be factored out. I don't see why the
driver needs to have such intimate knowledge of the interrrupt.

Please factor out the interrupt parsing.

Thanks,
