[PATCH 3/3] clocksource/drivers/nxp-stm: Increase min_delta to 20us for PREEMPT_RT

[Enric Balletbo i Serra via B4 Relay <devnull+eballetb.redhat.com@kernel.org>]

From: Enric Balletbo i Serra <eballetb@redhat.com>

Under bus contention on PREEMPT_RT kernels, the 2us min_delta is too
small and the counter can advance past the programmed comparator value
before the overshoot check runs. While the -ETIME fallback handles this
case, repeated retries add latency. Increase min_delta to 20us to reduce
collision probability.
