[PATCH 4.17 018/101] net: macb: Fix ptp time adjustment for large negative delta

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Harini Katakam <harini.katakam@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 64d7839af8c8f67daaf9bf387135052c55d85f90 ]

When delta passed to gem_ptp_adjtime is negative, the sign is
maintained in the ns_to_timespec64 conversion. Hence timespec_add
should be used directly. timespec_sub will just subtract the negative
value thus increasing the time difference.
