Hi!

Have a look at
http://git.pengutronix.de/?p=str/barebox.git;a=summary

I "stole" your clk driver and added it to my patch stack :-)
Current state for ZedBoard:
	- boot first stage from SD-Card
		- barebox.bin needs to be processed with
		./scripts/zynq_checksum barebox.bin BOOT.bin
		to have the checksum in the BootROM header
	- clocksource is arm_smp_tmd at seems accurate
	- the BootROM needs about 4-5 seconds to copy barebox from
	  SD to the OCM. I guess, I need to mess with the SD setup
	  in the BootROM somehow
	- just enough clkdev to use the timer
	- all pinctrl, clk setup etc happens in the lowlevel init

Regards,
Steffen
