Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/2] ptp: add control over HW timestamp latch point

Introduce:
- ops for getting and setting the HW timestamp latch point,
- enumerate possible HW timestamp latch point,
- new sysfs ptp device attribute as user knob.

HW support of PTP/timesync solutions in network PHY chips can be
achieved with two different approaches, the timestamp maybe latched
either in the beginning or after the Start of Frame Delimiter (SFD) [1].

Allow ptp device drivers to provide user with control over the timestamp
latch point.
