IMHO these four helpers just add a layer of indirection without much
benefit.

Do we ever expect more than two sources? Else, the phc_source could be
embedded as the least significant bit of the pointer in the union. In
that case we would need helpers to return the pointer without that LSB.
But space in struct ptp_clock is probably not so valuable that we need
to play such games.

No need for explicit extern?
