Two sub-commands... start and get. * start sets the reference. * get prints out the time since the last start (in "<sec>.<msec>" format). If get is called without start, returns time since boot. Simple way to benchmark an operation: "timer start;<commands-to-measure>;timer get"

Signed-off-by: Joe Hershberger joe.hershberger@ni.com --- Changes in v2: - Added config guard around the command - Documented in README - Documented CONFIG_CMD_TIME as being ARM specific - Style fix ',' - Made function static
