the Blackfin core tick/timer code has been around since the start of the original port, but i'm not sure it's entirely correct. some common code that uses timers seems to be misbehaving in that the timeout is pretty much immediate. makes me think that we've spent time on making udelay() work, but then just glossed over the rest.
unfortunately, there doesnt seem to be any docs on what exactly these functions do so it's hard for me to verify/change any of it.
my understanding is that: - get_ticks - return some notion of "cpu ticks" - get_tbclk - return number of "cpu ticks" that elapse in one second - timer_init - setup a core timer - get_timer(x) - not really sure what this is supposed to represent, or how "x" is used - reset_timer - reset core timer to 0 - CONFIG_SYS_HZ - no idea how this relates to ticks/timer in U-Boot as in the Linux world, this is the core timer (scheduler) frequency (how many times to execute per second) -mike
