Subject: [RFC PATCH net-next 3/6] ptp: Add free running time support
ptp vclocks require a clock with free running time for the timecounter.
Currently only a physical clock forced to free running is supported.
If vclocks are used, then the physical clock cannot be synchronized
anymore. The synchronized time is not available in hardware in this
case. As a result, timed transmission with ETF/TAPRIO hardware support
is not possible anymore.
If hardware would support a free running time additionally to the
physical clock, then the physical clock does not need to be forced to
free running. Thus, the physical clocks can still be synchronized while
vclocks are in use.
The physical clock could be used to synchronize the time domain of the
TSN network and trigger ETF/TAPRIO. In parallel vclocks can be used to
synchronize other time domains.
Allow read and cross time stamp of additional free running time for
physical clocks. Let vclocks use free running time if available.
