Subject: [PATCH net-next v11 05/13] net: Change the API of PHY default
timestamp to MAC
Change the API to select MAC default time stamping instead of the PHY.
Indeed the PHY is closer to the wire therefore theoretically it has less
delay than the MAC timestamping but the reality is different. Due to lower
time stamping clock frequency, latency in the MDIO bus and no PHC hardware
synchronization between different PHY, the PHY PTP is often less precise
than the MAC. The exception is for PHY designed specially for PTP case but
these devices are not very widespread. For not breaking the compatibility
default_timestamp flag has been introduced in phy_device that is set by
the phy driver to know we are using the old API behavior.
Reviewed-by: Rahul Rameshbabu <rrameshbabu@...dia.com>

Changes in v5:
- Extract the API change in this patch.
- Rename whitelist to allowlist.
- Set NETDEV_TIMESTAMPING in register_netdevice function.
- Add software timestamping case description in ts_info.
Change in v6:
- Replace the allowlist phy with a default_timestamp flag to know which
phy is using old API behavior.
- Fix dereferenced of a possible null pointer.
- Follow timestamping layer naming update.
- Update timestamp default set between MAC and software.
- Update ts_info returned in case of software timestamping.
Change in v8:
- Reform the implementation to use a simple phy_is_default_hwtstamp helper
instead of saving the hwtstamp in the net_device struct.
Change in v9:
- Update few nit following the review.
