[U-Boot] [RFC PATCH] OMAP: Timer: Replace bss variable by gd

[Dirk Behme]

Reuse the gd->tbl value for timestamp and add gd->lastinc for lastinc bss
values in the OMAP timer driver.

The usage of bss values in drivers before initialisation of bss is forbidden.
In that special case some data in .rel.dyn gets corrupted.

Note: This is compile tested only (therefore the RFC). Please *test*
      on real OMAP HW, e.g. Beagle.
