Hi everyone

I am using the Linux 2.6 kernel from TS download and i have some questions 
about specifics in the kernel.

In linux/arch/arm/mach-ep93xx/core.c  EP93XX_TIMER1_LOAD is loaded with 
"(508469 / HZ) - 1" to obtain a timer with the HZ frequency. Timer 1 is running 
at 508 kHz so this seems strange. On the other hand HZ is 100 so the last parts 
of the load-value is thrown away.

Is there a reason for this?

Regards
Per Öberg
