Hi Jakub,

Just wanted to clarify that this feature and the associated documentation are specifically intended for reading a HW timestamp,
not for TX/RX packet timestamping.
We reviewed similar drivers that support HW timestamping via `gettime64` and `gettimex64` APIs,
and we couldn't identify any that capture or report statistics related to reading a HW timestamp.
Let us know if further details would be helpful.
