I had developed this patch set to add gPTP support for LAN937x based on
the Christian eggers patch for KSZ9563. Initially I thought of keeping
implementation specific to LAN937x through lan937x_ptp.c files. Since
the register sets are same for LAN937x/KSZ9563, I developed using
ksz_ptp.c so that in future Christain eggers patch can be merged to it
to support the 1 step clock support.
I read the Hardware errata of KSZ95xx on 2 step clock and found that it
was fixed in LAN937x switches. If this is case, Do I need to move this
2 step timestamping specific to LAN937x as LAN937x_ptp.c & not claim
for ksz9563 or common implementation in ksz_ptp.c & export the
functionality based on chip-id in get_ts_info dsa hooks.
