Dear Simon Glass,

I do think it would be nice to put a time_ prefix before all the time functions, but this is a pretty minor point.
Agree.
By now, I also find get_timer() kind of misleading - one might expect from that name that it allocates one of (eventually several available) timers. We should probably rename it into time_read(); the newly suggested function would then become time_delta() [or time_diff()].
I would personally like to see two sets of parallel time_* functions, one for milliseconds and one for microseconds. The microsecond API is going to be critical for boot profiling and I see no reason to think about it now rather than later.
Regards,
