To be honest with you, I'm a bit concerned that it still won't work as
intended even if I remove the error from posix_clock_add(). This is
because find_dst_clock() from phc2sys finds clocks by phc_index. When
you run phc2sys between this /dev/ptp_kvm and CLOCK_REALTIME, I think it
might happen for this function to find the unintended clock, since both
of them have clock->phc_index = -1.
