No, it is at the device level. Some devices support time stamping
different types of packets, like PTP events.

I looked again at your driver, and now it makes sense to me that the
spin lock is so costly in your tests. Every received packet calls
timecounter_cyc2time.  So you will need locking, and I think
reader/writer is perfectly fine for you to use.

Thanks,
Richard
