Subject: x86: tsc: Try hardware calibration first
X-Git-Url: http://git.dujemihanovic.xyz/login.html?a=commitdiff_plain;h=165db7c426f1946376c3643fd635afd6b167e3ee;p=u-boot.git

x86: tsc: Try hardware calibration first

At present if TSC frequency is provided in the device tree, it takes
precedence over hardware calibration result. This swaps the order to
try hardware calibration first and uses device tree as last resort.

This can be helpful when a generic dts (eg: coreboot/efi payload) is
supposed to work on as many hardware as possible, including emulators
like QEMU where TSC hardware calibration sometimes fails.
