Dipen Patel 09574cca6a hte: Add Tegra194 HTE kernel provider
Tegra194 device has multiple HTE instances also known as GTE (Generic
Hardware Timestamping Engine) which can timestamp subset of SoC lines
and signals. This provider driver focuses on IRQ and GPIO lines and
exposes timestamping ability on those lines to the consumers through
HTE subsystem.

Also, with this patch, added:
- documentation about this provider and its capabilities at
Documentation/hte.
- Compilation support in Makefile and Kconfig

Hardware Timestamping Engine (HTE) Support.
Some devices provide a hardware timestamping engine which can
timestamp certain device lines/signals in realtime. It comes with a
benefit for the applications needing accurate timestamping event with
less jitter. This framework provides a generic interface to such HTE
providers and consumer devices.
If unsure, say no.

Enable this option for integrated hardware timestamping engine also
known as generic timestamping engine (GTE) support on NVIDIA Tegra194
systems-on-chip. The driver supports 352 LIC IRQs and 39 AON GPIOs
lines for timestamping in realtime.
