PTP packets with 2-step TX timestamp requests are matched to packets
based on the egress port number and a 6-bit timestamp identifier.
All PTP timestamps are held in a common FIFO that is 128 entry deep.
This patch ensures that back-to-back timestamping requests cannot exceed
the hardware FIFO capacity. If that happens, simply send the packets
without requesting a TX timestamp to be taken (in the case of felix,
since the DSA API has a void return code in ds->ops->port_txtstamp) or
drop them (in the case of ocelot).
I've moved the ts_id_lock from a per-port basis to a per-switch basis,
because we need separate accounting for both numbers of PTP frames in
flight. And since we need locking to inc/dec the per-switch counter,
that also offers protection for the per-port counter and hence there is
no reason to have a per-port counter anymore.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
