if I understand correctly, then below should be enough. I did't test it
though:

diff --git a/arch/arm/plat-omap/counter_32k.c b/arch/arm/plat-omap/counter_32k.c
index 87ba8dd..c9260e6 100644
--- a/arch/arm/plat-omap/counter_32k.c
+++ b/arch/arm/plat-omap/counter_32k.c
@@ -116,7 +116,7 @@ int __init omap_init_clocksource_32k(void __iomem *vbase)
 		return ret;
 	}
 
-	setup_sched_clock(omap_32k_read_sched_clock, 32, 32768);
+	setup_sched_clock_needs_suspend(omap_32k_read_sched_clock, 32, 32768);
 	register_persistent_clock(NULL, omap_read_persistent_clock);
 	pr_info("OMAP clocksource: 32k_counter at 32768 Hz\n");
 

Russell, would you have any comments here ? Should we make sure all ARMs
call setup_sched_clock_needs_suspend() and 'stop' counting during
suspend ?

I will test the above diff tomorrow, unless you have any other (better)
idea on how to deal with the problem.

cheers
