SAMA5D3 Xplained: SPL broken after panic added to /lib/time.c:94

[Manuel Luís Reis]

Hello,

I've been having issues with SPL booting in the SAMA5D3 Xplained board
getting the following error, with up-to-date mainline U-boot and
sama5d3_xplained _mmc_defconfig:

-----------------------------------------------
RomBOOT

<debug_uart>
Could not initialize timer (err -19)
.....
-----------------------------------------------

I could trace back the error to commit 4b2be78.

This topic has been raised before on
http://u-boot.10912.n7.nabble.com/PATCH-v2-time-Fix-get-ticks-being-non-monotonic-td426172.html
Tried the suggestions there with the same result.

I'm am not too knowledgeable with U-Boot nor this board. Could you shed
some light on this? Any pointers would be appreciated.

Let me know if you require additional information.

Cheers,
Manuel
