Re: [PATCH 5/9 v3] Add the MPC8641 HPCN platform files.

So, like, the other day Segher Boessenkool mumbled:

In that case you obviously need to sync the timebases, sure.
The firmware could be smart and do the sync at CPU start-up
time though.

I am investigating this and, as I indicated to Ben, submit
a follow up patch to  implement it if I figure out to do it.

In
some cases the kernel explicitly tells the firmware to start/
stop the timebases, that's better than the kernel having to
handle the nitty-gritty details itself already.

Thoughts?

Well, by the time Linux is running, there is no more firmware
available.  Linux is essentially autononomous at this stage,
and I think it will have to arrange for the TB sync itself.
