```text
iwlwifi only supports CLOCK_REALTIME timestamps and provides an incomplete
result without system counter values etc.

It also zeros struct system_device_crosststamp, which is already zeroed in
the core and initialized with the clock ID.

Remove the zeroing and reject any request for a clock ID other than REALTIME.
