Sorry, didn't notice this one earlier. We've merged an alternative patch
that uses ktime_get():

commit af30c0a00aa0d086a820c2ec75544c07611834d7

    mtd: tests: Replace timeval with ktime_t

>From reading the API description, it's not really clear to me if
ktime_get() includes NTP jumps or not.

In any case, if you still need this patch, please rebase on the latest
-next.

Regards,
Brian
