Well.  I just tried an experiment with OMAP4:

[    0.000000] sched_clock: 16 bits at 32kHz, resolution 30517ns, wraps every 1999ms                                                                            

So, this is similar to yours, and there I get:

[    1.945281] ALSA device list:
[    1.948394]   #0: SDP4430
[    1.951324] Waiting 2sec before mounting root device...

[    3.070404] Freeing init memory: 192K

So it appears to be working as designed.
