After the recent ixp4xx cleanups, the ptp driver has gained a
build failure in some configurations:
drivers/net/ethernet/xscale/ptp_ixp46x.c: In function 'ptp_ixp_init':
drivers/net/ethernet/xscale/ptp_ixp46x.c:290:51: error: 'IXP4XX_TIMESYNC_BASE_VIRT' undeclared (first use in this function)
Avoid the last bit of hardcoded constants from platform headers
by turning the ptp driver bit into a platform driver and passing
the IRQ and MMIO address as resources.
This is a bit tricky:
- The interface between the two drivers is now the new
ixp46x_ptp_find() function, replacing the global
ixp46x_phc_index variable. The call is done as late
as possible, in hwtstamp_set(), to ensure that the
ptp device is fully probed.
- As the ptp driver is now called by the network driver, the
link dependency is reversed, which in turn requires a small
Makefile hack
- The GPIO number is still left hardcoded. This is clearly not
great, but it can be addressed later. Note that commit 98ac0cc270
("ARM: ixp4xx: Convert to MULTI_IRQ_HANDLER") changed the
IRQ number to something meaningless. Passing the correct IRQ
in a resource fixes this.
- When the PTP driver is disabled, ethtool .get_ts_info()
now correctly lists only software timestamping regardless
of the hardware.

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.
