As I recall, he stated he was going to integrate your suggestions in a
new patch set that would follow this one.

In regards to your previous comments about the earlier patch I submitted
to wrap the code.  It was to fix a bug when the driver and time stamping
support are both modules.

Also, IMHO, while I look at pre-processor tags all day and get used to
matching up #ifdef to #endif's, I still see #endif /* CONFIG_IGB_PTP */
useful.  While it is not currently consistent, I see it more useful to
fix as we go, rather than create a single patch to add a comment for
every #endif.
