Use static branch(es) to implement and use machine_has_scc() instead of a runtime check via MACHINE_HAS_SCC. This comes with a cleanup of early time initialization: the initial tod_clock_base value is now passed via the bootdata mechanism, instead of using absolute lowcore as transport vehicle from the decompressor to the kernel. Also the early tod clock initialization is moved to the decompressor which allows to use a static branch with machine_has_scc() within the kernel.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
