    sfc: Rewrite adjustment of PPS event in a clearer way · 92d8f766
    Ben Hutchings authored
    There is substantial latency in generation and handling of PPS events
    from the NIC, which we have to correct for before passing a host
    timestamp to the PPS subsystem.  We compare clocks with the MC,
    giving us two offsets to subtract from the timestamp generated by
    pps_get_ts():
    
    (a) Time from the last good sync (where we got host and NIC timestamps
        for nearly the same instant) to the time we called pps_get_ts()
    (b) Time from NIC top of second to the last good sync
    
    We currently calculate (a) + (b) in a quite confusing way.
    Instead, calculate (a) completely, then add (b) to it.
