Subject: [PATCH RFC V1 net-next 0/4] Make MAC/PHY time stamping selectable

Up until now, there was no way to let the user select the layer at
which time stamping occurs.  The stack assumed that PHY time stamping
is always preferred, but some MAC/PHY combinations were buggy.

This series aims to allow the user to select the desired layer
administratively.

- Patch 1 refactors get_ts_info copy/paste code.

- Patch 2 introduces sysfs files that reflect the current, static
  preference of PHY over MAC.

- Patch 3 makes the layer selectable at run time.

- Patch 4 fixes up MAC drivers that attempt to defer to the PHY layer.
  This patch is broken out for review, but it will eventually be
  squashed into Patch 3 after comments come in.

Thanks,
Richard
