In addition to the moving variable on top, the null check is spurious
as skb_hwtstamps is never NULL (driver/net/* do not check it either).

Did you test this with SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_HARDWARE in userspace?
Pipewire does not try to get HW timestamps right now.

Would be good to also add some tests in bluez/tools/iso-tester.c
although this needs some extension to the emulator/* to support
timestamps properly.
