I am not seeing any danger of regressions.
By default the higher word has a value of 0, and doesn't have any
special functionality to jump forward or backwards. It just contains
upper 16 bits of the second [47:32].
I have seen only on register PTP_LTC_STEP_ADJ_HI that the most significant
bit can signify if to jump forward or backwards.
