After thinking about this more, I'm not sure it's right to do anything
more than the "remove legacy probe checks" patch already does.  Can you
think of any harm in having the oscillator running with bogus register
values?  Calls to get_time() will return -EINVAL, but that seems to be
the norm for any "bad time" condition.  It makes me think that resetting
to a sane time is putting more policy than desired in the driver.
