On these platforms, before the switch to oneshot mode, broadcast device is actually in shutdown mode. Code checks for empty tick_broadcast_mask and avoids going into the periodic mode. During switch to oneshot mode, add the same tick_broadcast_mask checks in the tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot() and avoid the broadcast device going into the oneshot mode.
