hwclock: Clarify documentation
The clock_hctosys and clock_systohc settings really do not have anything to do with running an ntp daemon, so remove that reference from the documentation. Reported-by: Milos Ivanovic <milosivanovic@orcon.net.nz> X-Gentoo-Bug: 401433 X-Gentoo-Bug-URL: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=401433
