Subject: [PATCH 4.14 024/117] cxgb4: fix large delays in PTP synchronization

From: Rahul Lakkireddy <rahul.lakkireddy@...lsio.com>

[ Upstream commit bd019427bf3623ee3c7d2845cf921bbf4c14846c ]

Fetching PTP sync information from mailbox is slow and can take
up to 10 milliseconds. Reduce this unnecessary delay by directly
reading the information from the corresponding registers.
