From: Che-Liang Chiou <clch...@chromium.org> timer_get_us returns the time in microseconds since a certain reference point of history. However, it does not guarantee to return an accurate time after a long period; instead, it wraps around (that is, the reference point is reset to some other point of history) after some periods. The frequency of wrapping around is about an hour (or 2^32 microseconds).
Test with command "sf probe 1:0; time sf read 40008000 0 1000". Try with different numbers of bytes and see that sane values are obtained Signed-off-by: Che-Liang Chiou <clch...@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Akshay Saraswat <aksha...@samsung.com> Acked-by: Simon Glass <s...@chromium.org> --- Changes since v2: - None.
