> The calibrated timestamp is calculated from the nominal value using the
> formula:
>   ts_gain[ns] ≈ ts_sensitivity - (ts_trim_coeff * val) / 1000.
> 
> The values of ts_sensitivity and ts_trim_coeff are not the same for all
> devices, so it is necessary to differentiate them based on the part name.
