The generic delay timer driver expects a pointer to a timer_ops_t
structure containing the specific timer driver information. It
doesn't make a copy of the structure, instead it just keeps the
pointer. Therefore, this pointer must remain valid over time.
The SP804 driver doesn't satisfy this requirement. The
sp804_timer_init() macro creates a temporary instanciation of the
timer_ops_t structure on the fly and passes it to the generic
delay timer. When this temporary instanciation gets deallocated,
the generic delay timer is left with a pointer to invalid data.
This patch fixes this bug by statically allocating the SP804
timer_ops_t structure.

Add a delay timer driver for the ARM SP804 dual timer.
This driver only uses the first timer, called timer 1 in the
SP804 Technical Reference Manual (ARM DDI 0271D).
To use this driver, the BSP must provide three constants:
* The base address of the SP804 dual timer
* The clock multiplier
* The clock divider
The BSP is responsible for calling sp804_timer_init(). The SP804
driver instantiates a constant timer_ops_t and calls the generic
timer_init().
