And please set `MTL_FLAG_ENABLE_HW_TIMESTAMP` flag to enable HW offload timestamp for all RX packets. + The fallback method is to read the time when IMTL processes the packet. However, it's important to note that this fallback method cannot guarantee timing accuracy, potentially rendering the parsed results unreliable. The simplest method is to enable the built-in status report. An application can activate the feature by setting the flag `ST20_RX_FLAG_TIMING_PARSER_STAT` or `ST20P_RX_FLAG_TIMING_PARSER_STAT`. Subsequently, IMTL will engage the Timing Parser module and include the results in the status log.
