Thanks for coding up this variant.

Agreed.

Unfortunately, we're already stuck with SOL_PACKET/PACKET_TIMESTAMP
accepting SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE.

Perhaps we can define a new PF_PACKET specific enum where the
equivalent option has the same value, so is backwards compatible:

enum {
PACKET_TIMESTAMP_ORIG = 0,
PACKET_TIMESTAMP_ZERO = 1 << 0,
PACKET_TIMESTAMP_NS64 = 1 << 1,
PACKET_TIMESTAMP_HW = 1 << 6
};

and BUILD_BUG_ON(PACKET_TIMESTAMP_RAW != SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE)
to document the dependency.

At high level, the code looks great to me, itself.
