The reason for this is that that the i210 latches the time on both
rising and falling edges of the input signal.  You can't program it
for rising edge only, for example.

Normally the PHC time scale is TAI, which is offset from the system's
UTC by an integer number of seconds.  You *can* use whatever time
scale you want, but PTP nodes will expect TAI by default.
