This change is causing problems with auto-delay on one of my boards by
making it inaccurate :-(

The question is what should get_timer() be returning? If it is meant to
be milliseconds then I guess I need to fix get_timer() for my board.
However, if it is just meant to be timer ticks at the SYS_HZ rate then I
don't see how the above change guarantees the do-while loop waits 1000
ms per iteration without normalising to SYS_HZ.

For my board I made the following change to make it work ...

diff --git a/common/main.c b/common/main.c
index a15f020..32c4f8a 100644
--- a/common/main.c
+++ b/common/main.c
@@ -264,7 +264,7 @@ int abortboot(int bootdelay)

                        udelay(10000);

+               } while (!abort && !(get_timer(ts) / CONFIG_SYS_HZ));

                printf("\b\b\b%2d ", bootdelay);

Cheers
