I will elaborate the commit description, why the additional 4 bytes are
required.

Initially I thought like using one variable in tagger_data to control
the whether to add 4 bytes in tail tag or not. And another variable in
ksz_port to check whether rx timestamping enabled or not. 
To avoid using two variables to track the timestamping, I thought
reusing the tagger variable to check rx timestamping as well as PTP
enabled in hardware.

I need to change algorithm such a way that, 
- When either Tx timestamping or Rx timestamping enabled in any one of
the port, enable PTP in hardware and add 4 additional bytes in tail
tag.
- Add hwtstamp_config variable in ksz_port, to set and get the hwtstamp
configuration.

Ok. I will update it.

Ok. I will update it.
