Yes, it should be fine to leave this as-is. I had included this before
updating the driver, to get the driver to bind to this. Upstream Linux
doesn't include "nvidia,tegra20-timer", so it only has the compatible
string for Tegra210. I think that's slightly better because the register
interface isn't quite compatible. That's a separate issue and we can do
that in a follow-up patch.

According to the Tegra210 TRM, the TIMERUS depends on the rate of clk_m
and clk_m is derived from OSC and either divided by 1, 2, 3 or 4. The
TRM goes on to say that:

	The expectation is that this CLK_M_DIVISOR will only be changed
	once after powering VDD_SOC on in cold boot/LP0 exit path. So
	these sequences are verified with an oscillator clock of 38.4
	MHz; div2 setting of the CLK_M divisor must be used. The result
	is 19.2 MHz clk_m.

And then it says:

	Note: Div2 is the recommended clk_m divisor value. Do not use
	any other value.

This is from Section 5.1.2 "Clk_m Divisor" of the Tegra210 TRM.

Anything you have in mind? I tried a couple of variations to the above
and they all failed because in other places it's important that OSC is
recognized as running at 38.4 MHz. If not, then other PLLs will not
work properly and even basic things like the debug UART won't work.

Technically the right thing to do would be to base the USEC config off
the clk_m rate. We didn't do that back at the time, IIRC, because most
of the clock infrastructure didn't exist, but it might be possible to
achieve this today. I kept the above because it is still a bit simpler
and as the TRM suggests nobody should be using anything other than the
div2 setting for clk_m. I'm certainly not aware of any devices that do
something different. And U-Boot has always had this assumption as well,
so I think it's safe to use.
