Disagree. Don't add a crutch that has not shown to be necessary for
all this time.

Just infer hw from hwtstamps != NULL.

Unfortunately this cannot be modified to skb_tstamp_tx_hw, as that
would require updating way too many callers.

If a separate version for software timestamps were needed, I'd suggest
adding a skb_tstamp_tx_sw() wrapper. But see first comment.

app is a bit vague. I suggest

skb_tstamp_tx_report_so_timestamping

and

skb_tstamp_tx_report_bpf_timestamping

Please just have a one line statements in the case directly:

    case SCM_TSTAMP_SCHED:
        return skb_shinfo(skb)->tx_flags & SKBTX_SCHED_TSTAMP;
    case SCM_TSTAMP_SND:
        return skb_shinfo(skb)->tx_flags & (sw ? SKBTX_SW_TSTAMP :
                                                 SKBTX_HW_TSTAMP);
    case SCM_TSTAMP_ACK:
        return TCP_SKB_CB(skb)->txstamp_ack;
