Oh, sorry! I didn't notice the PLAT_IOP was a superset of the IOP
arches, thanks for catching that!

The generalized rule is: if they have clocksources, then you're right,
ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET should not be used then (since it disables any
non-jiffies clocksources from being used).

Do you need a new respin removing those lines, or are you comfortable
modifying the patch already sent?

Thanks again for the review and help here!
