soc/intel/common/timer: Calculate TSC frequency based on CPUID 0x15
This patch ensures to follow Intel SDM Vol 3B Sec 18.7.3 to calculate nominal TSC frequency. As per SDM recommendation: For any processor in which CPUID.15H is enumerated and MSR_PLATFORM_INFO[15:8] (which gives the scalable bus frequency) is available, a more accurate frequency can be obtained by using CPUID.15H This patch also adds header file to capture Intel processor model number. BUG=b:129839774 TEST=Boot ICL platform and calculate TSC frequency using below methods 1. TSC freq calculated based on MSR 0xCE tsc: Detected 1600.000 MHz processor 2. TSC freq calculated based on CPUID 0x15 tsc: Detected 1612.800 MHz TSC Method 2 actually reduce ~25ms of boot performance time. Note: Method 2 is recommended from gen 6 processor onwards.
