PRU-ICSS IEP module, which is capable of timestamping RX and
TX packets at HW level, is used for time synchronization by PTP4L.

This change includes interaction between firmware and user space
application (ptp4l) with required packet timestamps. The driver
initializes the PRU firmware with appropriate mode and configuration
flags. Firmware updates local registers with the flags set by driver
and uses for further operation. RX SOF timestamp comes along with
packet and firmware will rise interrupt with TX SOF timestamp after
pushing the packet on to the wire.

IEP driver is available in upstream and we are reusing for hardware
configuration for ICSSM as well. On top of that we have extended it
with the changes for AM57xx SoC.

Extended ethtool for reading HW timestamping capability of the PRU
interfaces.

Currently ordinary clock (OC) configuration has been validated with
Linux ptp4l.
