Subject: [PATCH] tlclk: bug fix + misc fixes 

The following patch fixes a few problems with the tlclk driver.
* bug in the select_amcb1_transmit_clock 
* racy read sys call
* racy open sys call
* use of add_timer where mod_timer would be better
* change to the timer data parameter use

Signed-off-by: Mark Gross <mark.gross@...el.com>

thanks,
