From 5248c657898c018bcd23ef77759fa1d6c690bdf4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Brownell Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2007 17:59:10 +0100 Subject: [ARM] 4646/1: AT91: configurable HZ, default to 128 This makes HZ configurable on AT91, following the model used on OMAP. It defaults to a power of two on AT91rm9200 chips, avoiding rounding errors which come from dividing a 32 KiHz clock to generate scheduler irqs; and uses 100 on AT91sam926x chips, using MCK/16 (multi-MHZ).
