[POWERPC] 8xx: Timebase frequency should not depend on bus-frequency
m8xx_setup.c says: /* Force all 8xx processors to use divide by 16 processor clock. */ And at the same time it is using bus-frequency for calculating timebase. It is okay for most setups because bus-frequency is equal to clock-frequency. The problem emerges when cpu frequency is > 66MHz, quoting u-boot/cpu/mpc8xx/speed.c: if (gd->cpu_clk <= 66000000) { sccr_reg |= SCCR_EBDF00; /* bus division factor = 1 */ gd->bus_clk = gd->cpu_clk; } else { sccr_reg |= SCCR_EBDF01; /* bus division factor = 2 */ gd->bus_clk = gd->cpu_clk / 2; } So in case of cpu clock > 66MHz, bus_clk = cpu_clk / 2. An then, from Linux, we calculate timebase frequency as tb_freq = bus_clk / 16, that is cpu_clk / 2 / 16, which is wrong. This fixes the system time drifting problem on the EP885C board running at 133MHz. Signed-off-by: Anton Vorontsov <avorontsov@ru.mvista.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
