Read Zynq clock frequencies

This example showing how to read the appropriate Zynq system registers to find the frequency of the ARM Cortex-A9 processor clock, and the four programmable logic clock frequencies.

Other system registers can be read in a similar way.

To find details on the Zynq system registers, see the Zynq TRM: http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/user_guides/ug585-Zynq-7000-TRM.pdf
