Mind the term "ticks" here. This is the "system tick", but not any of
the clocks applied to any of the CPU pins.

CFG_HZ is the number of "clock ticks" per second; it has exactly  the
same meaning as the HZ variable in the Linux kernel.

Like in current Linux kernels, U-Boot  normally  uses  a  1  millisec
system tick, thus CFG_HZ should be 1000.
