HW support of PTP/timesync solutions in network PHY chips can be

Allow ptp device drivers to provide user with control over the timestamp
latch point.

I just wonder should we add ethtool interface to control this feature.
As we are adding it for phy devices, it's good idea to have a way to
control it through eth device too. WDYT?
