Old platforms using ancient gettimeoffset() and other arcane

This is an attempt at blind-coding a generic time and clocksource
driver for the platform by way of a datasheet and looking at the
old code, it'd be great if someone who is actually using this
machine could test it.

If noone volunteers to do this I will instead propose a patch
deleting the machine altogether.

ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Corrected the mask when setting clockevents from & TMCON_T1EN
  to & ~TMCON_T1EN so it doesn't shut down the clock source.
BTW: Greg if this would happen to work - could you try to enable
CONFIG_TICK_ONESHOT and CONFIG_NO_HZ as well to see
if we can work fine in oneshot mode as well?

Yours,
Linus Walleij
