help
The IEEE 1588 standard defines a method to precisely
synchronize distributed clocks over Ethernet networks. The
standard defines a Precision Time Protocol (PTP), which can
be used to achieve synchronization within a few dozen
microseconds. In addition, with the help of special hardware
time stamping units, it can be possible to achieve
synchronization to within a few hundred nanoseconds.
This driver adds support for PTP clocks as character
devices. If you want to use a PTP clock, then you should
also enable at least one clock driver as well.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called ptp.
config PTP_1588_CLOCK_GIANFAR
tristate "Freescale eTSEC as PTP clock"
depends on GIANFAR
select PTP_1588_CLOCK

help
This driver adds support for using the eTSEC as a PTP
clock. This clock is only useful if your PTP programs are
getting hardware time stamps on the PTP Ethernet packets
using the SO_TIMESTAMPING API.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called gianfar_ptp.

help
This driver adds support for using the IXP46X as a PTP
clock. This clock is only useful if your PTP programs are
getting hardware time stamps on the PTP Ethernet packets
using the SO_TIMESTAMPING API.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called ptp_ixp46x.

---help---
Supports the DP83640 PHYTER with IEEE 1588 features.
This driver adds support for using the DP83640 as a PTP
clock. This clock is only useful if your PTP programs are
getting hardware time stamps on the PTP Ethernet packets
using the SO_TIMESTAMPING API.
In order for this to work, your MAC driver must also
implement the skb_tx_timestamp() function.
config PTP_1588_CLOCK_PCH
tristate "Intel PCH EG20T as PTP clock"
build some drivers only when compile-testing Some drivers can be built on more platforms than they run on. This is a burden for users and distributors who package a kernel. They have to manually deselect some (for them useless) drivers when updating their configs via oldconfig. And yet, sometimes it is even impossible to disable the drivers without patching the kernel. Introduce a new config option COMPILE_TEST and make all those drivers to depend on the platform they run on, or on the COMPILE_TEST option. Now, when users/distributors choose COMPILE_TEST=n they will not have the drivers in their allmodconfig setups, but developers still can compile-test them with COMPILE_TEST=y. Now the drivers where we use this new option: * PTP_1588_CLOCK_PCH: The PCH EG20T is only compatible with Intel Atom processors so it should depend on x86. * FB_GEODE: Geode is 32-bit only so only enable it for X86_32. * USB_CHIPIDEA_IMX: The OF_DEVICE dependency will be met on powerpc systems -- which do not actually support the hardware via that method. * INTEL_MID_PTI: It is specific to the Penwell type of Intel Atom device.

select PTP_1588_CLOCK
help
This driver adds support for using the PCH EG20T as a PTP
clock. The hardware supports time stamping of PTP packets
when using the end-to-end delay (E2E) mechansim. The peer
delay mechansim (P2P) is not supported.
This clock is only useful if your PTP programs are getting
hardware time stamps on the PTP Ethernet packets using the
SO_TIMESTAMPING API.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called ptp_pch.
