Jacob Keller 87f4d7c1d3 ptp: update adjfreq callback description
This patch updates the adjfreq callback description to include a note that the
delta in ppb is always relative to the base frequency, and not to the current
frequency of the hardware clock.

Richard Cochran de46584675 ptp: clarify the clock_name sysfs attribute
There has been some confusion among PHC driver authors about the
intended purpose of the clock_name attribute. This patch expands the
documation in order to clarify how the clock_name field should be
understood.

Richard Cochran 1ef761582c ptp: link the phc device to its parent device
PTP Hardware Clock devices appear as class devices in sysfs. This patch
changes the registration API to use the parent device, clarifying the
clock's relationship to the underlying device.

Ben Hutchings 220a60a425 pps/ptp: Allow PHC devices to adjust PPS events for known delay
Initial version by Stuart Hodgson <smhodgson@solarflare.com>

Some PHC device drivers may deliver PPS events with a significant
and variable delay, but still be able to measure precisely what
that delay is.

Add a pps_sub_ts() function for subtracting a delay from the
timestamp(s) in a PPS event, and a PTP event type (PTP_CLOCK_PPSUSR)
for which the caller provides a complete PPS event.

Richard Cochran 995a9090b2 ptp: Add a method for obtaining the device index.
This commit adds a method that MAC drivers may call in order to find out
the device number of their associated PTP Hardware Clock.

Richard Cochran d94ba80ebb ptp: Added a brand new class driver for ptp clocks.
This patch adds an infrastructure for hardware clocks that implement
IEEE 1588, the Precision Time Protocol (PTP). A class driver offers a
registration method to particular hardware clock drivers. Each clock is
presented as a standard POSIX clock.

The ancillary clock features are exposed in two different ways, via
the sysfs and by a character device.
