Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/7][pull request] 1GbE Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2022-07-28

Jacob Keller says:

Convert all of the Intel drivers with PTP support to the newer .adjfine
implementation which uses scaled parts per million.

This improves the precision of the frequency adjustments by taking advantage
of the full scaled parts per million input coming from user space.

In addition, all implementations are converted to using the
mul_u64_u64_div_u64 function which better handles the intermediate value.
This function supports architecture specific instructions where possible to
avoid loss of precision if the normal 64-bit multiplication would overflow.

Of note, the i40e implementation is now able to avoid loss of precision on
slower link speeds by taking advantage of this to multiply by the link speed
factor first. This results in a significantly more precise adjustment by
allowing the calculation to impact the lower bits.

This also gets us a step closer to being able to remove the .adjfreq
entirely by removing its use from many drivers.

I plan to follow this up with a series to update the drivers from other
vendors and drop the .adjfreq implementation entirely.

The following are changes since commit 623cd87006983935de6c2ad8e2d50e68f1b7d6e7:
  net: cdns,macb: use correct xlnx prefix for Xilinx
and are available in the git repository at:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tnguy/next-queue 1GbE
