[U-Boot] [PATCH V2] Nomadik: fix reset_timer()

[Alessandro Rubini]

From: Alessandro Rubini <rubini at unipv.it>

Previously the code wrote 0 to reset the counter and used
negation to read an increasing value from the register. However,
a readback before 400us still returned 0, which was reported
as 1780 seconds, thus nand failed to work any now and then.
As suggested by Wolfgang Denk, this changes READ_TIMER to
just return the hardware counter (a declerasing one) and changes
code using the value.  Compile-tested only, at this point.

Please note that V3 is being posted at the same time. I prefer
V3 to this V2, but V2 is how I've been asked to do things.
