We call this a bug, then. get_timer() is specified to return tick os
one millisecond resolution.

If your code behaves differntly, it needs to be fixed.

That code was cleaned up some time ago. If there are board ports
which define CONFIG_SYS_HZ to anything else byt the mandatory value
of 1000 (like OMAP seems to do), then such ports are broken and need
to be fixed.
