Thanks, will fix for v2. I tested on a platform without the timers but I
must've left them compiled in.

I don't think so. The cycle count is returned via the timer_val parameter
and the get_cycles code checks the return value, so will give 0 if
read_current_timer returns anything other than 0. The core calibration code
(not that we call it) also expects a return value < 0 to indicate failure.
