Either drop the 'assisted' and refer to them as "hardware timestamping
engines" throughout, or rename your subsystem 'hate'?
Either way, be consistent.

Not sure this comment block adds anything.

Are gpiod_req_hw_timestamp_ns() and gpiod_rel_hw_timestamp_ns()
request/release or enable/disable?
You are using both descriptions in the documentation.
request/release implies resource allocation, while enable/disable does
not. Which is it?
