firewire: cdev: add more flexible cycle timer ioctl
The system time from CLOCK_REALTIME is not monotonic, hence problematic for the main user of the FW_CDEV_IOC_GET_CYCLE_TIMER ioctl. This issue exists in its successor ABI, i.e. raw1394, too. http://subversion.ffado.org/ticket/242 We now offer an alternative ioctl which lets the caller choose between CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_MONOTONIC, and CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW as source of the local time, very similar to the clock_gettime libc function. The format of the local time return value matches that of clock_gettime (seconds and nanoseconds, instead of a single microseconds value from the existing ioctl).
