Good.

This value is implementation dependent, it can't replace CONFIG_SYS_HZ_CLOCK.

Let me explain a bit,
Here the assumption is  calibration value is always 1ms at any systick clock frequency which is not true. Different arm vendors
write different values in this register to have timer value for 1 or 10 ms at one particular clock frequency, on top of it this particular frequency
is also different for all vendors.

Otherwise,
