On SAM9 hardware two cascaded 16 bit timers are used to form a 32 bit
high resolution timer that is used as scheduler clock when the kernel
has been configured that way (CONFIG_ATMEL_CLOCKSOURCE_TCB).
The driver initially triggers a reset-to-zero of the two timers but this
reset is only performed on the next rising clock. For the first timer
this is ok - it will be in the next 60ns (16MHz clock). For the chained
second timer this will only happen after the first timer overflows, i.e.
after 2^16 clocks (~4ms with a 16MHz clock). So with other words the
scheduler clock resets to 0 after the first 2^16 clock cycles.
It looks like that the scheduler does not like this and behaves wrongly
over its lifetime, e.g. some tasks are scheduled with a long delay. Why
that is and if there are additional requirements for this behaviour has
not been further analysed.
There is a simple fix for resetting the second timer as well when the
first timer is reset and this is to set the ATMEL_TC_ASWTRG_SET bit in
the Channel Mode register (CMR) of the first timer. This will also rise
the TIOA line (clock input of the second timer) when a software trigger
respective SYNC is issued.

The first divisor for the sama5d2 is actually the gclk selector. Because
the currently remaining divisors are fitting the use case, currently ensure
it is skipped.

The divider selection algorithm never allowed to get index 0. It was also
continuing to look for dividers, trying to find the slow clock selection.
This is not necessary anymore.

Stop using the slow clock as the clock source for 32 bit counters because
even at 10MHz, they are able to handle delays up to two minutes. This
provides a way better resolution.

Use the tcb_config and struct atmel_tcb_config to get the timer counter
width. This is necessary because atmel_tcb_config will be extended later
on.

On all the supported SoCs, the slow clock is always ATMEL_TC_TIMER_CLOCK5,
avoid looking it up and pass it directly to setup_clkevents.
