Subject: [RFC PATCH] net: macb: Process tx timestamp only on ptp packets

The current implementation timestamps all packets and also processes
the BD timestamp for the same. While it is true that HWTSTAMP_TX_ON
enables timestamps for outgoing packets, the sender of the packet
i.e. linuxptp enables timestamp for PTP or PTP event packets. Cadence
GEM IP has a provision to enable this in HW only for PTP packets.
Enable this option in DMA BD settings register to decrease overhead.
