Add timer driver for the StarFive JH7110 SoC.
As it is a new timer, please add a proper nice description explaining the timer hardware, thanks.
OK. Will add the description in next version.

You may want to use ARCH_STARFIVE only if the platform can make this timer optional. Otherwise, set the option from the platform Kconfig and put the bool "bla bla" if COMPILE_TEST
Yes, this timer only be used on the StarFive SoC. So I intend to modify to this:
bool "Timer for the STARFIVE JH7110 SoC" if COMPILE_TEST
depends on ARCH_STARFIVE
In this case, you should change the platform config and select the timer
from there. Remove the depends on ARCH_STARFIVE so it is possible enable
cross test compilation. Otherwise COMPILE_TEST will not work on other
platforms.

Why do you need several clock events and clock sources ?
This timer has four counters (channels) which run independently. So each counter can have its own clock event and clock source to configure different settings.
The kernel only needs one clocksource. Usually multiple clockevents are
per-cpu based system.
The driver does not seem to have a per cpu timer but just initializing
multiple clockevents which will end up unused, wasting energy.
