Subject: [PATCH v6 3/7] dt-bindings: ptp: Add amazon,vmclock

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@...zon.co.uk>

The vmclock device provides a PTP clock source and precise timekeeping
across live migration and snapshot/restore operations.

The binding has a required memory region containing the vmclock_abi
structure and an optional interrupt for clock disruption notifications.

The full spec is at https://uapi-group.org/specifications/specs/vmclock/
