BeagleBoard: make Beagle use GPTIMER12 for system ticks
There is suspicion that the 32kHz input clock to the OMAP may be noisy on BeagleBoards. On OMAP2/3 GPTIMER1, this can cause the timer counter register to warp to unknown values or miss interrupt conditions. So, use GPTIMER12 instead, which apparently has its own secure 32kHz oscillator and will hopefully not be prone to the suspected sys_32k glitches. This is only a workaround. If sys_32k is noisy, other system peripherals may be affected. This workaround is a collective product of several people, most notably Philip Balister <philip@balister.org>, Dirk Behme <dirk.behme@googlemail.com>, Koen Kooi <k.kooi@student.utwente.nl>, Tony Lindgren <tony@atomide.com>, Steve Sakoman <sakoman@gmail.com>, Khasim Syed Mohammed <khasim@ti.com> Richard Woodruff <r-woodruff2@ti.com>, Kevin Hilman <khilman@deeprootsystems.com>. I apologize if there is anyone whom I've missed.
