Sure. Will add a comment.

Makes sense. Will add that predicate for next version.

Yeah, these registers control the corrections the NIC hardware make to
the timestamps based on the PCIe link delays from the NIC to its
upstream PCIe port.

I don't remember seeing anything like that on the PCIe base spec. Will
take another look to make sure.
