From: Dmitry Osipenko <dig...@gmail.com>
Tegra's timer has 29 bits for the counter and for the "load" register
which sets counter to a load-value. The counter's value is lower than
the actual value by 1 because it starts to decrement after one tick,
hence the maximum number of ticks that hardware can handle equals to
29 bits + 1.
