Yes. This module always uses IEP HW time stamping for better precision.
We will clean this in the next version.

This was a typo, We will address this in the next version. Firmware running in PRU
treats E2E Delay Req/Resp messages same as P2P peer delay req/resp.

currently firmware sends back timestamp even for E2E Delay_response message
though this is a general message. To service that txts request we added this
here. We will revisit again and clean this in the subsequent versions.
