[PATCH net-next v4 0/5] net: dsa: mv88e6xxx: various hwstamp fixes

From: Luke Howard

Date: Sun Jul 26 2026 - 23:59:43 EST


Three fixes for improving the reliably of hardware timestamp acquisition
on Marvell switches. In our tests this eliminated missed timestamps in
ptp4l, whilst also preserving PTP event and general message ordering on
switches that support embedded timestamps.

Changes in v4:
- Gate embedded PTP arrival time support on new DSA protocol
- Only timestamp PTPv2 frames (Marvell switches do not support PTPv1)
- Link to v3: https://patch.msgid.link/20260719-mv88e6xxx-ptp-fixes-v3-0-161386ac8a62@xxxxxxxx

Changes in v3:
- Unset UDP checksum on all embedded timestamp cases
- Handle embedded PTP arrival times without worker dispatch
- Link to v2: https://patch.msgid.link/20260710-mv88e6xxx-ptp-fixes-v2-0-af97c38df247@xxxxxxxx

Changes in v2:
- Lineraize SKBs before retrieving embedded timestamp
- Hoist driver register lock out of per-frame loop
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260703-mv88e6xxx-ptp-fixes-v1-0-0138581889a9@xxxxxxxx
