    The only reason RDC321x is not yet converted to using gpiolib is the small
    number of actually accessible GPIOs, anyway, I will do the conversion soon.

    This code is inherited from MIPS/ARM before GPIO lib, where generic assembly
    headers provide prototypes for the usual GPIO functions. Boards override
    those functions with their own copy of these GPIO functions.

    Yes, I did not have time to investigate this, and am still wondering if we can
    have dynamic tick rate settings in early board setup code.
