Two synchronization modes are supported, one uses a pulse per second (PPS)
signal provided by the source clock and the other mode reads time from the
source clock directly. The PPS mode is usually preferred, because reading the
PHC is slow and introduces an unknown error in the readings, but not all PHCs
provide the PPS signal.

will synchronize the slave clock with better accuracy depends on hardware and
driver implementation.
