This looks OK to me. Benjamin, Peter, any concerns here?

Add "break" here please.

You need to replace ktime_zero with invalid_timestamp here.

No need for curly braces for 1-line body.

We typically avoid typedefs unless we really want to hide kind of data
we are dealing with. Let's just use "enum input_clock_type" everywhere.
