davinci: explain CLOCK_TICK_RATE of 27MHz in include/mach/timex.h

Leave a comment explaining the constant value of 27Mhz used
in include/mach/timex.h for all DaVinci platforms. Many of
the platforms actually run at 24MHz timer frequency (Eg.
EVMs of DM355, DM365 and OMAP-L1).

The comment also serves as a porting alert.
