AT91RM9200 ticker error

[Thomas Doerfler]

Hello Dierk,

greetings from munich :-)

In CVS, the file "clock.c" is still in its initial version, see

http://www.rtems.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/rtems/c/src/lib/libcpu/arm/at91rm9200/clock/

I have filed a PR on this problem for this bug in 

http://www.rtems.com/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?database=RTEMS

in PR 727

wkr,
Thomas Doerfler.
