+ Optional stats that are obtained along with the transmit timestamps.
+ It must be used together with SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY. When the
+ transmit timestamp is available, the stats are available in a
+ separate control message of type SCM_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_STATS, as a
+ list of TLVs (struct nlattr) of types. These stats allow the

+ the transmit timestamps, such as how long a certain block of
+ data was limited by peer's receiver window.
New applications are encouraged to pass SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_ID to
disambiguate timestamps and SOF_TIMESTAMPING_OPT_TSONLY to operate
