    hvc_opal: don't set tb_ticks_per_usec in udbg_init_opal_common() · 447808bf

    time_init() will set up tb_ticks_per_usec based on reality.
    time_init() is called *after* udbg_init_opal_common() during boot.
    
    from arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c:
      unsigned long tb_ticks_per_usec = 100; /* sane default */
    
    Currently, all powernv systems have a timebase frequency of 512mhz
    (512000000/1000000 == 0x200) - although there's nothing written
    down anywhere that I can find saying that we couldn't make that
    different based on the requirements in the ISA.
    
    So, we've been (accidentally) thwacking the (currently) correct
    (for powernv at least) value for tb_ticks_per_usec earlier than
    we otherwise would have.
    
    The "sane default" seems to be adequate for our purposes between
    udbg_init_opal_common() and time_init() being called, and if it isn't,
    then we should probably be setting it somewhere that isn't hvc_opal.c!
