Perhaps Ralf will see fit to commit it this time. Looking back over the exchange and thinking about the date, in all fairness to Ralf, when I submitted it, it was a diff -u and not a git diff, because I was at my brother-in-law's house for the holidays and had no access to my MIPS Linux git machine. It got picked up by patchwork.linux-mips.org ( patch/1896 ), but was only actually tested by Anoop a couple of days later. He confirmed that it solved the problem, but also that there were other problems with SMTC in the then-current head, apparently relating to timekeeping_notify(). Those problems weren't resolved in the context of that email thread, so the patch - something along the lines of which really and truly is necessary - may have been ignored as a partial fix, even though it is a self-contained solution to a self-contained bug.
