I could, but why add essentially dead code to the kernel? Maintaining the
old behavior has the "advantage" that it remains broken in the same way as
before, so any workarounds anyone was using will continue to work the same.
And if they were not using workarounds and got a broken kernel, this patch
will not make anything *more* broken, in fact it will not cause any change
in behavior in that case (aside from the warning message).

But if you think it's best to just enable the clock anyway, let me know
and I'll send a new patch.

Aidan
