OK, the problem is that the MXS platform does not setup
the scheduler clock so the scheduler only sees the HZ one.

The patch in attach fixes this. I can only test the MX28 part -
I don't have any timrot_is_v1() (MX23) hardware and I don't
know whether a source that wraps after ~2 seconds is OK at all.
