Hi Willem,
There is one more issue here. sk_tsflags is u32 as well as
sockcm_cookie::tsflags. But sock_tx_timestamp receives __u16 tsflags,
usually filled with sockc.tsflags. It works now because
SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID_TCP is not checked in these functions, but it's
wrong in general. Should I fix it in this series or it's better to do in
a seperate one?
