Patch for missing tick-timer

Hello,
When booting pocketbeagle I was getting "Could not initialize timer" error in a loop.
It turned out that the device tree for pocketbeagle loaded by U-Boot lacked chosen/tick-timer definition. After adding the missing property and rebuilding u-boot-beaglebone the board booted successfully.

Please see the proposed patch attached in the file.

Thanks
Max

This isn't the correct way.
We shouldn't use u-boot embedded dtb but the ones present on the fat partition.
So u-boot should load from the fat partition dtb/am335x-pocketbeagle.dtb
