Static code analysis fix _032 (Issue #65)
SCA complains here about ntohs() but the real issue is the type of offsetScaledLogVariance,
which currently in the code is int16_t. There seems to be inconsistency in IEEE 802.1AS-2011:
This inconsistency has been corrected in IEEE 802.1AS-2011/Cor 1-2013 where UInteger16 was specified
in the Table 14-1 and used later in the code examples. IEEE 1588-2008 defines offsetScaledLogVariance also
as UInteger16 (see 5.3.7 ClockQuality).
