The code is resetting the clock unconditionally on ifup/down.  That
sucks.  If you reset the clock *only* after resume, that would be ok.

Well, those requirements are not too smart.  As an end user, I expect
that ifdown/up does not change the time.  There isn't any reason to
reset the clock in this case.

Only if you follow that poorly conceived PM plan.  Anyhow, I agree
that it isn't the task of your present series to fix that.

What I would like to see is: initialize the cyclecounter fields
exactly once.

Thanks,
