Subject: [PATCH 2/3] net: uapi: Add HWTSTAMP_FLAGS_ADJ_FINE/ADJ_COARSE

This commit allows a user to specify a flag value for configuring
timestamping through hwtsamp_config structure.

New flags introduced:

HWTSTAMP_FLAGS_NONE = 0
	No flag specified: as it is of value 0, this will selects the
	default behavior for all the existing drivers and should not
	break existing userland programs.

HWTSTAMP_FLAGS_ADJ_FINE = 1
	Use the fine adjustment mode.
	Fine adjustment mode is usually used for precise frequency adjustments.

HWTSTAMP_FLAGS_ADJ_COARSE = 2
	Use the coarse adjustment mode
	Coarse adjustment mode is usually used for direct phase correction.
