Fabian Inostroza <fabianinostrozap@gmail.com> has discovered a potential
problem in the hardware timestamp reporting from the PCAN-USB USB CAN
interface (only), related to the fact that a timestamp of an event may
precede the timestamp used for synchronization when both records are part
of the same USB packet. However, this case was used to detect the wrapping
of the time counter.

This patch details and fixes the two identified cases where this problem
can occur.
