The switch has internal PTP hardware clocks. Add support for it. There are three clocks: * Synchronized * Syntonized * Free running Currently the synchronized clock is exported to user space which is a good default for the beginning. The free running clock might be exported later e.g. for implementing 802.1AS-2011/2020 Time Aware Bridges (TAB). The switch also supports cross time stamping for that purpose. The implementation adds support setting/getting the time as well as offset and frequency adjustments. However, the clock only holds a partial timeofday timestamp. This is why we track the seconds completely in software (see overflow work and last_ts). Furthermore, add the PTP multicast addresses into the FDB to forward that packages only to the CPU port where they are processed by a PTP program.

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.
