Ok.  The kernel's HZ value is variable on many architectures, so by the
same token I would say u-boots could be also.  It should never be
assumed that CFG_HZ is 1000.  Perhaps by convention it's a good rate for
the few PPC systems which actually use the clock interrupt to do
something.

For ARM, it turns out to be convenient to assign the tick generator to
be CFG_HZ value.  This saves on a little math.

I can see where it might be better to assign it to match the rate your
target kernel would use, but it is probably not necessary as the kernel
should re-init it anyway.
