Given that this path corresponds to the driver I wrote, do I assume
that you've picked up my work on PTP support for Marvell PHYs? You
should be aware that I still have the patches out of tree but it's
been pointless me reposting it until the issue of which PTP gets
used has been solved. (Publishing will just increase the pressure
to merge it without the PTP problems being solved, and thus break
Marvell PP2 PTP.)
