The DesignWare APB timers on Intel Agilex and Agilex5 SoCs fail to
initialise because their clock managers are platform drivers registered
at core_initcall, which runs after time_init() where TIMER_OF_DECLARE
callbacks fire. With clocks/clock-names in the DTS, the timer driver
calls clk_get() at a point when the clock provider is not yet
registered, causing the timers to never come up.
Replace the clocks/clock-names reference in both DTSIs with a static
clock-frequency of 100 MHz, which is the L4_SP clock rate configured
by the bootloader. The dw-apb-timer binding explicitly supports this
as an alternative when the clock framework is unavailable at probe time.

The Agilex5 clock manager is a platform driver initialised at
core_initcall, after time_init() where TIMER_OF_DECLARE callbacks run.
The timer cannot defer its probe, so clk_get() fails and the timer is
never brought up.
With clock-frequency, the tick rate is read directly from the DT node
without involving the clock framework, allowing the timer to initialise
regardless of when the clock manager is ready.
Replace clocks/clock-names with a static clock-frequency of 100 MHz,
which is the L4_SP clock rate configured by the bootloader.
