Well, we spent an massive amount of time in testing, reviewing and
discussion and it definitely did not break suspend/resume here.

This was not pushed without a lot of thoughts and in fact what you are
seing is another long standing bug in the timekeeping resume code,
which was just papered over by the incorrect handling of the clock was
set cases in the other parts of the system.

Does the following patch fix the problem for you ?

@John: Should that clear ntp as well or is it enough to set ntp_error
to 0 ?

/me really goes on vacation now.

Thanks,
