Modulo one small Q, this looks good to me.

Do we know this platform has 200 cycles per us?

No idea, that was the number used before so I simply re-used it.

Perhaps we should see, since it is used here:

static void
platform_delay(int usec, void *arg __unused)
{

int counts;

for (; usec > 0; usec--)
        for (counts = plat_obj->cls->delay_count; counts > 0; counts--)
                /*
                 * Prevent the compiler from optimizing
                 * out the loop
                 */
                cpufunc_nullop();

}

                cpufunc_nullop();

}

100 seems accurate enough.
But the platform bits for delay seems broken, the delay_count stays at 0.

We currently lack a way to measure this. It would need someone to think about how to do this across the different timers.
