Hi Min Li,

some minor feedback from my side.

Perhaps it cannot occur, but if nsec is exactly 0, then
sync is uninitialised here.

Flagged by clang-17 W=1 build, and Smatch.

sync_ns is set here but otherwise unused.
Perhaps the assignment can be dropped and sync_ns removed from this
function?

As flagged by gcc-13 W=1 build and Smatch.
