> If a packet has the skb_shared_tx->hardware flag set the device is
> instructed to generate a TX timestamp and write it back to memory after
> the frame is transmitted. During the clean_tx_ring operation the
> timestamp will be extracted and copied into the skb_shared_hwtstamps
> struct of the skb.
> 
> TX timestamping is enabled by setting the tx_type to something else
> than HWTSTAMP_TX_OFF with the SIOCSHWTSTAMP ioctl command. It is only
> supported by eTSEC devices.
