Yes, we could do this. The problem is that this works only on ARMv7 cores that have this timer. What about the others? PBL code that depends on udelay() can then only run on these cores. Arguably we already have this problem when I introduce the symbol for ARMv8, but it probably gets worse when we start using udelay in more places in PBL. Any idea for a way to implement a udelay for the older cores?
