During suspend, the kernel timekeeping subsystem is shut down.  Before
suspend and upon resume, it uses a weak function
read_persistent_clock() to determine the amount of time that elapsed
during suspend.

This function was not implemented on OMAP, so from the timekeeping
subsystem perspective (and thus userspace as well) it appeared that no
time elapsed during suspend.

This patch uses the 32k sync timer as a the persistent clock the 32k
sync timer value converted to seconds.

NOTE: This does *NOT* handle wrapping of the 32k sync timer, so
      wrapping of the 32k sync timer during suspend may cause
      problems.  Also, there are not interrupts when the 32k sync
      timer wraps, so something else has to be done.

Tested on OMAP3 using PM branch.
If no issues, I will queue for 2.6.32-rc fixes

I think we should read the 32k timer value before entering the sleep and 
reading it again at resume time. Doing so up to one overflow could be 
handled, which means a maximum sleep period of 36.4 hours.

Now the time wrap problem imposes the system to wake-up before 36.4 hours. We 
have a few options:
1) always use the wake-up timer with a wake-up time < 36.4 hours
2) rely on the user space to set the wake-up timer correctly, depending on the 
applications needs.

I am for option 1.

Any thoughts?

Regards,
Jean
