What about replacing gettime64 with:

static int ixgbe_ptp_gettimex(struct ptp_clock_info *ptp, struct timespec64 *ts)
{
    struct ptp_system_timestamp sts
    
    ixgbe_ptp_gettimex(ptp, &tst);
    *ts = sts.phc_ts
}

Actually, could that even just be provided by the PTP core if gettime64 isn't implemented? This way new drivers only have to implement the new interface, and userspace will just get the old behavior if they use the old call?

Thanks,
Jake
