Series | Up until now, there was no way to let the user select the layer at which time stamping occurs. The stack assumed that PHY time stamping is always preferred, but some MAC/PHY combinations were buggy. | expand |

From: Kory Maincent <kory.maincent@bootlin.com> This series aims to allow the user to select the desired layer administratively. - Patch 1 refactors get_ts_info copy/paste code. - Patch 2 introduces sysfs files that reflect the current, static preference of PHY over MAC. - Patch 3 makes the layer selectable at run time. - Patch 4 fixes up MAC drivers that attempt to defer to the PHY layer. This patch is broken out for review, but it will eventually be squashed into Patch 3 after comments come in. Changes in v2: - Move selected_timestamping_layer variable of the concerned patch. - Use sysfs_streq instead of strmcmp. - Use the PHY timestamp only if available.
