Clock canonical name is set in device_set_realized (see the block added to hw/core/qdev.c in commit 0e6934f264). If we connect a clock after the device is realized, this code is not executed. This is currently not a problem as this name is only used for trace events, however this disrupt tracing.
Add a comment to document qdev_connect_clock_in() must be called before the device is realized, and assert this condition.
