6.1.y and 5.15.y fail to build arm:ixp4xx_defconfig.

drivers/net/ethernet/xscale/ixp4xx_eth.c:390:39: warning: 'struct kernel_hwtstamp_config' declared inside parameter list will not be visible outside of this definition or declaration
  390 |                                struct kernel_hwtstamp_config *cfg,

This is not surprising since struct kernel_hwtstamp_config does not exist in v6.1.y and v5.15.y.

The problem was introduced with commit a94d5447f6bf8 ("net: ixp4xx_eth: convert to
ndo_hwtstamp_get() and ndo_hwtstamp_set()") in v6.1.y and commit 612c622ab8efe
in v5.15.y. It can not easily be reverted due to conflicts with a subsequent
commit.

Thanks,
Guenter
