Previously there was no similar interface. It is required for
configuration of Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE).

User must be able to enable or disable propagation of its
PHY recovered clock signal onto available output pin.
This allows the signal to be used as frequency reference signal
for different hardware chips.

I'm not sure if there are any guarantees about the size and alignment of _Bool,
maybe better use __u8 here as well, if only for clarity.

I understand that these are traditionally using the old-style 16-bit
numbers, but is there any reason to keep doing that rather than
making them modern like this?

#define SIOCSSYNCE     _IOWR(0x89, 0xc0, struct  synce_ref_clk_cfg)
/* set and get config   */
#define SIOCGSYNCE     _IOR(0x89, 0xc1, struct  synce_ref_clk_cfg)
/* get config   */

Sure, will fix that in next patch, seems reasonable

Personally I would try to keep it one way, just for consistency, 
but you might be right - making it modern way is better option.
If no other objections to this comment I am going to change it according to
Arnd's suggestion in next patch.

How can the user know what values of 'pin_id' are valid and useful?
