The mxc-timer on the imx25 needs to be derived from the AHB clock. If a bootloader reparents this clock to the ipg_clk_highfreq, which according to the datasheet is a valid operation, the system can/will produce lockups/ freezes after some time [1].
This can be forced with code like while(1) syscall(SYS_clock_gettime, CLOCK_REALTIME, &tp); This was already fixed with the commit "i.MX25 GPT clock fix: ensure correct the clock source" [2], but it seems, that it got lost. So, re-add this to have a correct gpt.
