The output of the (local) scripts I use mention about a dozen more
(possible) problems in both Blackfin's stamp.c files. I'm roughly
working my way back in git history, slowly, so those problems are
probably older.

Since I know from previous cleaning up efforts that the Blackfin people
know they have non-working code (eg, code not actually buildable since
it has no working Kconfig support) I do not give Blackfin much priority.
But this patch (and the other two related to the v3.2 release) were
obvious oversights that I could as well fix right away.
