a lot of actual timer are not correct and we have problem on network timeout
as example.

So we need to known the precision of the timer to known the impact on all
timer depends part of u-boot as timeout or bitbanging stack

so when you have to respect some delay to init some chip or other you will to
known the delay you will have in reality. This will avoid you a lots of pain
during the dev
