libpayload: improve us timer accuracy
In cases where timer clock frequency is not an integer number of megahertz, the calculations in timer_us() lack accuracy. This patch modifies calculations to reduce the error. The maximum interval this calculation would support decreases, but it still is in excess of 1844674 seconds for a timer clocked by 10 MHz, which is more than enough. BUG=none TEST=manual . verified timer accuracy using a depthcharge CLI command Original-Change-Id: Iffb323db10e74b0ce3b4d59a56983bfee12e6805 Original-Signed-off-by: Vadim Bendebury <vbendeb@chromium.org> Original-Reviewed-on: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/207358 Original-Reviewed-by: David Hendricks <dhendrix@chromium.org> (cherry picked from commit e1abf87d438de1a04714482d5b610671e8cc0663) Signed-off-by: Marc Jones <marc.jones@se-eng.com> Change-Id: Ia892726187ab040dd235f493c92856c15951cc06 Reviewed-on: http://review.coreboot.org/8128 Reviewed-by: Stefan Reinauer <stefan.reinauer@coreboot.org> Reviewed-by: Paul Menzel <paulepanter@users.sourceforge.net> Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins)
