Tested the patch series applied against 3.10.1 on a 3-CPU ES45. System came
up fine but I noticed date was wrong and had been reset back to the start
of the epoch (Jan 1 1970). Appears it is not reading hardware clock
correctly on boot.

I manually set the clock to the correct time but noticed it is running slow,
indeed in a period of 60s the system clock incremented by 21s (+/-1s) so
would appear clock is running slow by a factor given by the number of CPUs.

Cheers
Michael
