Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 2/2] mlx4_en: Only cycle port if HW timestamp config changes

From: Shawn Bohrer <sbohrer@...advisors.com>

If the hwtstamp_config matches what is currently set for the device then
simply return.  Without this change any program that tries to enable
hardware timestamps will cause the link to cycle even if hardware
timstamps were already enabled.
