Cheers Stephen, this looks good to me. After looking at this code some more
I think I'll change the read_current_timer function pointer type to be:
unsigned long (*read_current_timer)(void);
since it doesn't make sense to return an error code from the platform
implementation (in fact, it will cause havoc in the delay loop).
I'll post a new patch -- rebasing your code should be trivial.
Cheers,
Will
