This is another good option, I can change the rating of both the timers.
With below description and given understanding/discussion/usability of both
the timers, we can reverse the rating,
32K-sync counter = 300
GPTIMER = 250
Considering the fact that, 32k-sync counter is more usable than gptimer on
OMAP platform.
@"include/linux/clocksource.h"
* @rating: rating value for selection (higher is better)
* To avoid rating inflation the following
* list should give you a guide as to how
* to assign your clocksource a rating
* 1-99: Unfit for real use
* Only available for bootup and testing purposes.
* 100-199: Base level usability.
* Functional for real use, but not desired.
* 200-299: Good.
* A correct and usable clocksource.
* 300-399: Desired.
* A reasonably fast and accurate clocksource.
* 400-499: Perfect
* The ideal clocksource. A must-use where
* available.
Thanks,
