I follow what is being done here, although it seems a bit messy:
- abusing tx_flags for recive
- keeping a pointer into skb->data for later use.

if_index of 0 is invalid - see dev_new_index().
So this optimization would be better written as:
if (!if_index) {
rcu_read_lock();
orig_dev = dev_get_by_napi_id(skb_napi_id(skb));
if (orig_dev)
if_index = orig_dev->ifindex;
rcu_read_unlock();
}

This should be set to 0 in the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE block.

I'd suggest moving all this into a helper function, so it reads
something like this:
if_index = 0;
if (skb_shinfo(skb)->tx_flags & SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP_NETDEV)
hwtstamp = recover_hw_tstamp(skb, sk, &if_index);
else
hwtstamp = shhwtstamps->hwtstamp;
