[U-Boot] [PATCH 1/1] The GP timer is fixed for 1msec and CONFIG_SYS_HZ to 1000.

The header files for other OAMP3 boards have also been changed for CONFIG_SYS_HZ to be 1000.

Dear Mani,
some comments below.
I will have a look to this soon. Maybe I will come with a patch then, too.

Not sure if this is necessary (correct?) here.
ulong get_timer_masked(void) {
- ulong now = readl(&timer_base->tcrr); /* current tick value */
- if (now >= lastinc) /* normal mode (non roll) */

As already mentioned in

I don't understand why you remove the overflow handling here?
- return readl(&timer_base->tcrr) >> 5; /* current tick value */
Hmm, here you shift by 5. In your first patch (linked above) you had 6.
Let's have a look to the clocking used here: If I'm right, the timer runs with 13MHz. Then we divide by 256 (2^(7+1)), this results in 50781.25Hz. Is this correct?
With '>> 6' this will result in 793.457Hz, with '>> 5' we will get 1586.914Hz. Correct?
Both doesn't fit
CONFIG_SYS_HZ 1000
?
At the moment I think the best way to go is to have a look how DaVinci is dealing with this. The only difference I see at the moment between OMAP3 and DaVinci concept is that DaVinci timer runs with 27MHz.

Looking at this in the config files and the comments around it, it seems to me that we should do some more clean up here. E.g. update the comment above these macros to OMAP3 and replace V_PVT directly with 7.

[Pillai, Manikandan] OK. I have tested only on OMAP3 EVM since I do not have any of the other boards.

[Pillai, Manikandan] Writing into this register clears the register count. The reset_timer() functions needs to clear the count in this register.

[Pillai, Manikandan] Is overflow handling really required here ???

[Pillai, Manikandan] I knew it doesn't give the correct values. This was tested using sleep() function. Since 5 gives a > time than 1 second, I picked up 5 here.

Dear "Pillai, Manikandan",

What makes you sure it is NOT needed?
With '>> 6' this will result in 793.457Hz, with '>> 5' we will get 1586.914Hz. Correct?

Argh... We don't need realy high precision, but I think we should attempt to not worse than +/- 2% or so. THis implementation is not acceptable.
