>From d4eb97e8d5def76d46167c91059147e2c7d33433 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 When using PTP_SYS_OFFSET ioctl to measure the time offset between the PHC and system clock, we need to specify the number of measurements, the valid value of n_samples is between 1 to 25. If n_samples <= 0 or > 25 it makes no sense, so this patch intends to add a range check.
