New timestamping API was introduced in commit 66f7223039 ("net: add
NDOs for configuring hardware timestamping") from kernel v6.6. It is
time to convert DSA to the new API, so that the ndo_eth_ioctl() path can
be removed completely.
Move the ds->ops->port_hwtstamp_get() and ds->ops->port_hwtstamp_set()
calls from dsa_user_ioctl() to dsa_user_hwtstamp_get() and
dsa_user_hwtstamp_set().
Due to the fact that the underlying ifreq type changes to
kernel_hwtstamp_config, the drivers and the Ocelot switchdev front-end,
all hooked up directly or indirectly, must also be converted all at once.
The conversion also updates the comment from dsa_port_supports_hwtstamp(),
which is no longer true because kernel_hwtstamp_config is kernel memory
and does not need copy_to_user(). I've deliberated whether it is
necessary to also update "err != -EOPNOTSUPP" to a more general "!err",
but all drivers now either return 0 or -EOPNOTSUPP.
The existing logic from the ocelot_ioctl() function, to avoid
configuring timestamping if the PHY supports the operation, is obsoleted
by more advanced core logic in dev_set_hwtstamp_phylib().
This is only a partial preparation for proper PHY timestamping support.
None of these switch driver currently sets up PTP traps for PHY
timestamping, so setting dev->see_all_hwtstamp_requests is not yet
necessary and the conversion is relatively trivial.

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 reStructuredText 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.
