openrisc: start CPU timer early in boot
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
[ Upstream commit 516dd4a ]

In order to measure the boot process, the timer should be switched on as
early in boot as possible. As well, the commit defines the get_cycles
macro, like the previous patches in this series, so that generic code is
aware that it's implemented by the platform, as is done on other archs.
