Subject: [PATCH net-next RFC 0/9] net: dsa: PTP timestamping for mv88e6xxx

This patch series adds support for PTP timestamping through the DSA
framework, as well as an implementation for mv8e6xxx switches.

This implementation was targeted at a National Instruments platform
that uses the Marvell 88E6341 (Topaz). I've tried to enable support on
other Marvell switches where the register interfaces seemed compatible,
but I don't have the hardware to verify their operation myself.

This series probably ties in well with Richard's comment last week
("Re: [RFC net-next 0/5] TSN: Add qdisc-based config interfaces for
traffic shapers") about figuring out proper interfaces for managing
switch-level PTP timestamps.

A couple patches that I expect may need further polishing:

- Patch #2: We expose the switch time as a PTP clock but don't support
  adjustment (max_adj=0). Our platform adjusted a systemwide oscillator
  from userspace, so we didn't need adjustment at this layer, but other
  PTP clock drivers support this and we probably should too.

- Patch #3: The GPIO config support is handled in a very simple manner.
  I suspect a longer term goal would be to use pinctrl here.

- Patch #6: the dsa_switch pointer and port index is plumbed from
  dsa_device_ops::rcv so that we can call the correct port_rxtstamp
  method. This involved instrumenting all of the *_tag_rcv functions in
  a way that's kind of a kludge and that I'm not terribly happy with.

This applies to net-next as of 14a0d032f4ec.

Feedback is appreciated.
