ARM: vexpress: Remove motherboard dependencies in the DTS files

The way the VE motherboard Device Trees were constructed
enforced naming and structure of daughterboard files. This
patch makes it possible to simply include the motherboard
description anywhere in the main Device Tree and retires
the "arm,v2m-timer" alias - any of the motherboard SP804
timers will be used instead.

Current Linux implementation requires a "arm,v2m_timer" alias
pointing at one of the motherboard's SP804 timers, if it is to be
used as the system timer. This alias should be defined in the
motherboard files.
The tile description must define "ranges", "interrupt-map-mask" and
"interrupt-map" properties to translate the motherboard's address
and interrupt space into one used by the tile's processor.
The tile description should define a "smb" node, describing the
Static Memory Bus between the tile and motherboard. It must define
the following properties:
- "simple-bus" compatible value (to ensure creation of the children)
compatible = "simple-bus";
- mapping of the SMB CS/offset addresses into main address space:
#address-cells = <2>;
#size-cells = <1>;
ranges = <...>;
- interrupts mapping:
#interrupt-cells = <1>;
interrupt-map-mask = <0 0 63>;
interrupt-map = <...>;
