Subject: mlx4_en SIOCSHWTSTAMP cycles the link

So performing a SIOCSHWTSTAMP on the mlx4_en driver cycles the link:

[ 9463.081330] mlx4_en: p2p1: Changing Time Stamp configuration
[ 9463.084637] mlx4_en: p2p1:   frag:0 - size:1526 prefix:0 align:0 stride:1536
[ 9463.155533] mlx4_en: p2p1: Link Down
[ 9466.471169] mlx4_en: p2p1: Link Up

This breaks linuxptp (ptp4l) since it causes all of the already open
sockets to silently loose their multicast joins.  Thus ptp4l sits
there waiting for multicast PTP packets that aren't going to come.
I hacked around this in ptp4l by performing the ioctl once with the
hwstamp_ctl program from linuxptp and skipping the ioctl in ptp4l,
which works, but quite frankly this sucks.  I'd love to know if anyone
has any better ideas on how to make SIOCSHWTSTAMP usable.

After hacking around the SIOCSHWTSTAMP issue I've noticed that ptp4l
synchronizes the PHC, however there must be another bug somewhere
because it creates a 35 second offset from the PTP master.  When I use
ptp4l with software timestamps I only have a couple of microseconds
offset from the master.  I'll spend some more time debugging tomorrow,
but if anyone has any ideas why ptp4l is creating a 35 second offset
when using the PHC I'd love to hear them.  I did compare the
timestamps returned by the packets with a call to timecounter_read()
and those values are only ever 1-2us apart.  It is possible that there
is a bug somewhere in linuxptp but in general I like to assume my code
is broken.
