Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for the patch.

You know, I think we should really move all this timestamp handling code
to userspace...

A bit of context would be nice, such as labelling the axes, mentioning
what nominal frame rate is expected, as telling what each link
corresponds to.

This effectively bypasses the SOF clock domain completely. If the SOF
values sent by the device are completely unrelated to the USB SOF
counter we can obviously not rely on the SOF clock domain, but I'd like
an explanation as to *why* this still provides better timestamps.
