RTEMS - rtems_clock_get_uptime() fails during timer tick

[Rolf Schroedter]

I don't know about ERC32.
For LEON2 I'm quite sure that the counter behaves the same like for
LEON3, however I don't know whether the LEON2 TIMER has a
InterruptPending bit.
Additionally, as Daniel pointed out, there is a change in the LEON3
GPTIMER bit.

I'm in contact with him to find a good, and perhaps general solution for
all LEON-SPARC BSP's.

Rolf.
