Yes, I also though about this.

But...

In Linux we have 2 different timer clocksource drivers for Orion /
Kirkwood and Armada XP / 370 etc:

drivers/clocksource/timer-orion.c
drivers/clocksource/timer-armada-370-xp.c

I did not check, if and why this is necessary to handle those chips
via different drivers yet. Perhaps later this week. Or someone of
you beats me with this. ;)

Thanks,
Stefan
