Earlier you proposed to fix this issue by changing the value
of RAVB_RXTSTAMP_TYPE_ALL constant to 0x4.
Unfortunately, simple changing of the constant value will not
be enough, since the code in ravb_rx() (actually determining
if timestamp is needed)

u32 get_ts = priv->tstamp_rx_ctrl & RAVB_RXTSTAMP_TYPE;
[...]
get_ts &= (q == RAVB_NC) ?
                RAVB_RXTSTAMP_TYPE_V2_L2_EVENT :
                ~RAVB_RXTSTAMP_TYPE_V2_L2_EVENT;

will work incorrectly and will need to be fixed too, making this
piece of code more complicated.

So, it's probably easier and safer to keep the constant value and
the code in ravb_rx() intact, and just fix the get ioctl code,
where the issue is actually located.

Thanks!

Best regards,
Andrew
