CFG_HZ is a constant and has to be 1000.
Why is it a board specific define then?
Historical reasons only. When PPCBoot was created, I played with that parameter to get a feeling for the involved overhead, etc. This should really be removed, but as you know too many boards depend on this.
You could add a software divider in get_timer(). But I think it's better to define CFG_HZ to whatever the timer frequency is. At least 49 boards do it.
That's what I mean: many boards need fixing.
