Subject: staging: comedi: serial2002: Use monotonic clock
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d38c59e9ab203427f14ab6691529bac098adbacd;p=linux-beck.git

staging: comedi: serial2002: Use monotonic clock

Wall time obtained from do_gettimeofday is susceptible to sudden jumps due to
user setting the time or due to NTP.

Monotonic time is constantly increasing time better suited for comparing two
timestamps.
