There are tons of boards out there that need to use the high frequency ocillator source with gptimer because of the beagleboard B4 and earlier issue #7. So we need to provide both options for the boards. Using the high frequency oscillator source blocks deeper idle states in hardware so those devices are usable. Regads, Tony
