Hi Jesse,

The minor nit below notwithstanding, this looks good for me.

nit: There should be an entry for @tx_hwtstamp_good added to the Kernel doc
     for this structure.

Also, not strictly related to this patch, but related to Kernel doc.
It would be very nice, IMHO, if some work could be done to add
Return: sections to Kernel docs for the ice and moreover Intel Wired
Ethernet drivers. These are flagged by kernel-doc -none -Wall,
which was recently enabled for NIPA. And there are a lot of them.
