/*
- * Generic timer implementation of timer_read_counter()
+ * FSL erratum A-008585 says that the ARM generic timer counter "has the
+ * potential to contain an erroneous value for a small number of core
+ * clock cycles every time the timer value changes".
+ * This sometimes leads to a consecutive counter read returning a lower
+ * value than the previous one, thus reporting the time to go backwards.
+ * The workaround is to read the counter twice and only return when the value
+ * was the same in both reads.
+ * Assumes that the CPU runs in much higher frequency than the timer.
