[iwl-net,00/10] initial PTP support

Message

This patch series introduces support for Precision Time Protocol (PTP) to
Intel(R) Infrastructure Data Path Function (IDPF) driver. PTP feature is
supported when the PTP capability is negotiated with the Control
Plane (CP). IDPF creates a PTP clock and sets a set of supported
functions.

During the PTP initialization, IDPF requests a set of PTP capabilities
and receives a writeback from the CP with the set of supported options.
These options are:
- get time of the PTP clock
- get cross timestamp
- set the time of the PTP clock
- adjust the PTP clock
- Tx timestamping

Each feature is considered to have direct access, where the operations
on PCIe BAR registers are allowed, or the mailbox access, where the
virtchnl messages are used to perform any PTP action. Mailbox access
means that PTP requests are sent to the CP through dedicated secondary
mailbox and the CP reads/writes/modifies desired resource - PTP Clock
or Tx timestamp registers.

Tx timestamp capabilities are negotiated only for vports that have
UPLINK_VPORT flag set by the CP. Capabilities provide information about
the number of available Tx timestamp latches, their indexes and size of
the Tx timestamp value. IDPF requests Tx timestamp by setting the
TSYN bit and the requested timestamp index in the context descriptor for
the PTP packets. When the completion tag for that packet is received,
IDPF schedules a worker to read the Tx timestamp value.

Current implementation of the IDPF driver does not allow to get stable
Tx timestamping, when more than 1 request per 1 second is sent to the
driver. Debug is in progress, however PTP feature seems to be affected by
the IDPF transmit flow, as the Tx timestamping relies on the completion
tag.
