Firstly, when in SPL is there access to the get_timer() function? Secondly, when using Falcon mode to load Linux directly from SPI (Falcon mode) then we want to maximise the throughput and save every CPU cycle we possibly can. Adding yet another function call into the for loop and hence calling it a couple of million times seems, on the face of it, like it is going to slow things down.
