Yeah, yeah, documentation. :)
- cycle_no: Continuous counter for the sync frames the master
issued (it's guaranteed to not jump even on backup
master overtake)
- cycle_start: Calculated start time of the current cycle based on the
local clock
- cycle_offset: Offset between local and master clock for this cycle
(local + offset = master)
Note that the current implementation of the cycle_offset does guarantee
a strictly monotonic global clock, but the jitter is in orders of the
IRQ latency for the particular platform (a few 10 us).
