firewire: CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW exposure

Stefan,

I wonder why firewire exposed CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW to user space.

What's the purpose of that? CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW is the raw time based
on the initial frequency setup of the clocksource. That can be quite
off from the NTP corrected frequency which is exposed by
CLOCK_MONOTONIC.

If there is no real good reason, I'd really like to remove that.

Thanks,

tglx
