/* udelay needs to know the period of the
* timebase in nanoseconds. This used to be hardcoded to be 60ns
* (period of 66MHz/4). Now a variable is used that is initialized to
* 60 for backward compatibility, but it can be overridden as necessary
* with code something like this:
* extern unsigned long timebase_period_ns;
* timebase_period_ns = 1000000000 / bd->bi_tbfreq;

Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `ppc_asm.h`.
- Atlas domain: Architecture Layer / arch/powerpc.
- Implementation status: atlas-only.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
