Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] drivers: net: stmmac: add
 STMMAC_RELATIVE_FLEX_PPS

Add the STMMAC_RELATIVE_FLEX_PPS config switch so that the MAC system
time is added to the requested start time when configuring the flexible
PPS signal start time.

This eases the configuration of the generation of flexible PPS signals.
