This series removes "select ARCH_USES_GETTIMEOFFSET" from arch/m68k

Various bugs are fixed along the way.

Are there any plans to merge this series, Geert?

Has this been tested on all/most platforms? Or do you think is it safe to
apply regardless?


The amiga, atari and mac patches have been tested.

The apollo, q40, sun3 and sun3x patches are safe though untested, AFAIK. I
confirmed that, in qemu at least, the default jiffies clocksource will
work, and the patch is trivial.

That leaves bvme6000, hp300, mvme147 and mvme16x. Those have not been
tested. Here are some options for those platforms:

1) Apply the patches untested (gaining new clocksources and some API
modernization for m68k, while fixing old bugs and potentially introducing
new bugs).

Thank you, applied and queued for v5.2.
