Please add more verbiage here, giving the reader as much context as
possible. You are establishing a de-facto approach for one-step peer
delay timestamping for hardware like yours, you need to explain why it
is done this way, for people to understand just by looking at git blame.

The way this function is coded up right now, there's no reason to call it:
- onestep
- p2p
- move_t2_to_correction
As it is, it would be better named ptp_header_update_correction.

Again? Why? There's nothing wrong with left-shifting negative numbers,
two's complement works the same (note that right-shifting is a different
story, but that's not the case here).

Can't you just go back from the struct ptp_header pointer and avoid this
check?
