Hmm, do the TIMER1 and CP0_COUNTER run at same speed? If no, the
PNX8550 port should be broken (i.e. gettimeofday() did not work
properly) even without the timer API changes. You should provide
custom clocksource.mips_read (previously named mips_hpt_read) function
which returns TIMER1 counter value. If the TIMER1 was not 32-bit
free-run counter, some trick would be required. Refer sb1250 or
jmr3927 for example.
