As result, packet has to be deferred and processed later. This change is not necessary.

There is no advantage to delaying Rx time stamp delivery. In fact, it can degrade synchronization performance. The only reason the implementation delays Tx time stamps delivery is because there is no other way. Thanks, Richard
