In an ideal world, CNTFRQ_EL0 always contains the timer frequency for the kernel to use. Sadly, we get quite a few broken systems where the firmware authors cannot be bothered to program that register on all CPUs, and rely on DT to provide that frequency.
So when trapping CNTFRQ_EL0, make sure to return the actual rate (as known by the kernel), and not CNTFRQ_EL0.
