And that commit is doing what the subject line says. Catch illegal usage.

The real bug is in this code:

drivers/net/wireless/mac80211_hwsim.c

mac80211_hwsim_new_radio()

        tasklet_hrtimer_init(&data->beacon_timer,
                             mac80211_hwsim_beacon,
                             CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW, HRTIMER_MODE_ABS);

CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW is not a supported clockid for hrtimers. Sigh.

Fix below.

Thanks,
