One last item: CNS1102 support removal

[Mori Hiroki]

Hi.

I make fdt eventtimer intrng to cns11xx.

https://gist.github.com/yamori813/ae047a28a825aac255e436fd8ccaf785


Still not work...

Clang is very slow on cross compile. It's take 7 hour.

My cns11xx target Planex MZK-W04G is 64MByte ram.

It's bigger than rt1310 target.

I almost abandon...
