Ok, then there's no problem.
Regarding the tests, it's probably fairly straightforward to add. Only
thing that would need doing is to add new testcase similar to ""ISO
Receive - RX Timestamping"" in bluez/tools/iso-tester.c with HW
timestamping enabled, and edit bluez/tools/tester.h:rx_timestamp_check
to also check HW timestamps if enabled.
