Commit 7c571ac57d9d ("net: ptp: introduce .supported_extts_flags to
ptp_clock_info") moved the validation of the external timestamp request
flags into the PTP core. A driver that does not set
.supported_extts_flags still accepts the legacy PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST ioctl,
but every PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2 request is rejected with -EOPNOTSUPP, since
the core always adds PTP_STRICT_FLAGS to it.

ptp_qoriq_init() programs TMR_CTRL with ETEP1 and ETEP2 cleared, so the
timer timestamps the rising edge of its external trigger inputs. Declare
that, with PTP_STRICT_FLAGS, so that a falling edge request is rejected
instead of being timestamped on the rising edge.

This also makes the legacy PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST ioctl strict: a request for
the falling edge, or for both edges, now fails with -EOPNOTSUPP instead
of being timestamped on the rising edge. That cannot be avoided: the core
adds PTP_STRICT_FLAGS to every PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2 request, so a driver
has to declare it to accept them, and once declared it applies to both
ioctls. Commit 3200fdd4021d ("broadcom: fix support for
PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2 ioctl") made the same change for bcm-phy-ptp.
