Something like this should work (not even build tested, can be applied
on top of Will's v2 patchset):

And change your ->timer() func (called via time_init) to make use of it:

        unsigned long freq;

        /* For UP/SMP systems */
        freq = get_CPU_frequency();
        calibrate_delay_early(freq);

#ifdef CONFIG_SMP
        /* For SMP systems */
        freq = get_Timer_frequency();
        init_current_timer_delay(freq);
#endif

The way to detect CPU clock speed can vary depending on your systems,
so hard to be generalized.  In my case, I have full-blown clock tree
described for my SoCs, and the CPU clock speed can be easily obtained
by clk_get_rate("xxx").

Hope this helps!
