Switch timer to 100 Hz to match other systems #237

250 Hz seems to be a setting on Beagleboard kernel configurations, but isn't used in the TI configurations. It's also not clear what benefit using a non-default setting here has. Various internet searches turn up either pre-NO_HZ articles or speculation on power savings.

This removes the non-default setting so that this system matches other Nerves systems that use the defaults and the upstream TI systems that use the defaults.
