I wonder if we should pass in 

	struct netlink_ext_ack *extack

and maybe another structure for future extensions?
So we don't have to change the drivers again when we extend uAPI.

nit: reorder int err after config we like lines longest to shortest

nit: just error check each return value, don't try to save LoC

Let's refactor this differently, we need net_hwtstamp_validate()
to run on the same in-kernel copy as we'll send down to the driver.
If we copy_from_user() twice we may validate a different thing
than the driver will end up seeing (ToCToU).

TBH I'm not sure if keeping GET and SET in a common dev_hwtstamp()
ends up being beneficial. If we fold in the validation check half 
of the code will be under and if (GET) or if (SET)..
