[U-Boot] [PATCH] arm1136: timer: Replace bss variable by gd

Reuse the gd->tbl value for timestamp and add gd->lastinc for lastinc bss values in the arm1136 timer driver for mx31 and omap24xx
The usage of bss values in drivers before initialisation of bss is forbidden. In that special case some data in .rel.dyn gets corrupted.
This patch is similiar to the patch Dirk Behme posted for the armv7/omap-common/timer.c
Tested on the mx31 based qong board

Should I pull this into v2010.12, or should we rather wait for amore general solution and fix it in the next release?
Best regards,

I vote for pulling this into the v2010.12 release, beause it is a bugfix and we get a working code with elf relocation(conceding the patch is not a perfekt solution, but working)

Applied to u-boot-arm, thanks and apologies for the late action.
