This series extends the zl3073x output pin support and finally adds PTP
periodic output (perout) support on top of it.

Each zl3073x output exposes a P-pin and an N-pin that share a single HW
output and most of its configuration registers. Patch 1 makes a change
requested on one pin notify the sibling pin as well, so userspace on the
sibling is told when its effective frequency, esync or phase adjustment
changed.

Patches 2 and 3 add the plumbing to control an individual output pin:
GPO override registers and a clean stop/restart of an output (patch 2),
and then per-pin enable/disable through the state_on_dpll_get/set
callbacks - differential pins via the output stop condition, CMOS pins
via the GPO override bracketed by a glitch-free stop/restart (patch 3).

Patches 4 and 5 are preparatory: the per-pin 'esync_control' boolean is
replaced by an extensible 'caps' bitmap, and the divisor/N-division
computation is factored out of frequency_set() into a helper that
updates a struct zl3073x_out without committing it.

Patch 6 registers a PTP periodic output pin for each output pin that
supports step-time and declares 1 PPS support in firmware. Any perout
channel can be assigned to any such pin; only 1 PPS is supported.
Enabling a channel programs its pin for 1 Hz and connects it, disabling
disconnects it, reusing the helper and connect/disconnect primitive
introduced earlier in the series.

Hi Jakub & Paolo,

I would like to send the v2 series but now it depends on two bugfix patches
that were submitted to 'net' as

https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/3c4e8106-83d0-4c1c-a3bd-8d9343d2d557@xxxxxxxxxx/T/#m0caa2ce66da8213c8594bce7d0ff55baeafeee05

Without them the v2 is not applicable to net-next...

Can I include these 2 patches into v2 so they will be present on both net and
net-next? Or how to proceed in this situations?

Thanks,
Ivan
