  The clocksource and the sched_clock provided by the arm_global_timer
on Rockchip rk3066a/rk3188 are quite unstable because their rates
depend on the cpu frequency.

Recent changes to the arm_global_timer driver makes it impossible to use.

On the other side, the arm_global_timer has a higher rating than the
rockchip_timer, it will be selected by default by the time framework
while we want to use the stable rockchip clocksource.

Let's disable the arm_global_timer in order to have the DW_APB_TIMER
(rk3066a) selected by default.
