Probably shouldn't be discussing it in this context, but ...
Why did this also revert the illegal clock ID catching? That seems
strange? Doesn't that mean that everything that specifies an otherwise
not supported value will get HRTIMER_BASE_MONOTONIC?

I had actually selected _RAW for a reason, you don't want the frame
timings to be affected by clock adjustments?
Arguably, it's rare that the clock is actually adjusted, and even if
that does happen, chances are that nobody will actually care at that
point in time, but ...
What would it take to actually add real support?
