Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] ice: lighter locking for PTP time reading

This series removes the use of the heavy-weight PTP hardware semaphore
in the gettimex64 path. Instead, serialization of access to the time
register is done using a host-side spinlock. The timer hardware is
shared between PFs on the PCI adapter, so the spinlock must be shared
between ice_pf instances too.

Michal Schmidt (3):
  ice: add ice_adapter for shared data across PFs on the same NIC
  ice: avoid the PTP hardware semaphore in gettimex64 path
  ice: fold ice_ptp_read_time into ice_ptp_gettimex64
