Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 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.
Replacing the PTP hardware semaphore entirely with a mutex is also
possible and you can see it done in my git branch[1], but I am not
posting those patches yet to keep the scope of this series limited.

v2:
- Patch 1: Rely on xarray's own lock. (Suggested by Jiri Pirko)
- Patch 2: Do not use *_irqsave with ptp_gltsyn_time_lock, as it's used
only in process contexts.
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
