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.
