Commit Message

Bit 270-271 are occasionally unexpectedly set by the hardware. This issue
was observed with 10G SFPs causing huge time errors (> 30ms) in PTP. Only
30 bits are needed for the nanosecond part of the timestamp, clear 2 most
significant bits before extracting timestamp from the internal frame
header.

Fixes: 70dfe25cd866 ("net: sparx5: Update extraction/injection for
timestamping")

There are some small issues/comments with this patch:
1. The Fixes tag should still be on one line even if it is longer than
75 columns, so the robots can find it.
2. Please use GENMASK(5, 0) instead of 0x3f.

Hi Horatiu,
Thanks for your feedback. I will make the suggested changes and send a
v2 patch in a new email thread.
