in DSA generic code.

Jan Luebbe 5daf83846c docs: networking: timestamping: fix section title markup
This section was missed during the conversion to ReST, so convert it in the
same style as the surrounding section titles.

Vladimir Oltean 94d9f78f4d docs: networking: timestamping: add section for stacked PHC devices
The concept of timestamping DSA switches / Ethernet PHYs is becoming
more and more popular, however the Linux kernel timestamping code has
evolved quite organically and there's layers upon layers of new and old
code that need to work together for things to behave as expected.

Add this chapter to explain what the overall goals are.

Loosely based upon this email discussion plus some more info:
