From: Hrishikesh Bhandiwad <hrishikesh.b@xxxxxx> Present current selection of the GPTIMER on Beagleboard was result of a hardware issue in early versions of the Beagleboards (Ax and B1 thru B4). [1][2] Its been long since the hardware issue has been fixed. This patch uses GPTIMER 1 for all newer board revisions incl. Beagleboard XM. Also, the clock source for GPTIMER12 is much less frequency stable than clock sources for GPTIMER1. Using GPTIMER12 can result in major time skew over a fairly short interval.
