Does the architecture define a high-resolution clock source? If yes, then it's better to use that to get exact timing than to rely on the loop calibration.

Dear Arnd:

Thanks.
I will modify it in the next version patch.

I don't understand why you would want to override any of those.
Changing them unfortunately means rebuilding all of your user space, but I think it would be better to do that now than to suffer from this later on.

Thanks.
I will remove them in the next version patch.
