benchtests: Rename argument to TIMING_INIT macro.
The TIMING_INIT macro currently sets the number of loop iterations to 1000, which limits usefulness. Make the argument a clock resolution value and multiply by 1000 in bench-skeleton.c instead to allow easier reuse. ChangeLog: 2013-09-11 Will Newton <will.newton@linaro.org> * benchtests/bench-timing.h (TIMING_INIT): Rename ITERS parameter to RES. Remove hardcoded 1000 value. * benchtests/bench-skeleton.c (main): Pass RES parameter to TIMING_INIT and multiply result by 1000.
