Anton Vorontsov 5053037816 [POWERPC] 8xx: Timebase frequency should not depend on bus-frequency
m8xx_setup.c says:
   /* Force all 8xx processors to use divide by 16 processor clock. */

And at the same time it is using bus-frequency for calculating
timebase.  It is okay for most setups because bus-frequency is
equal to clock-frequency.

The problem emerges when cpu frequency is > 66MHz, quoting
u-boot/cpu/mpc8xx/speed.c:

        if (gd->cpu_clk <= 66000000) {
                sccr_reg |= SCCR_EBDF00;        /* bus division factor = 1 */
                gd->bus_clk = gd->cpu_clk;
        } else {
                sccr_reg |= SCCR_EBDF01;        /* bus division factor = 2 */
                gd->bus_clk = gd->cpu_clk / 2;
        }

So in case of cpu clock > 66MHz, bus_clk = cpu_clk / 2. An then, from
Linux, we calculate timebase frequency as tb_freq = bus_clk / 16,
that is cpu_clk / 2 / 16, which is wrong.

This fixes the system time drifting problem on the EP885C board
running at 133MHz.
