====================
octeontx2: Add PTP support for VFs

PTP is a shared hardware block which can prepend
RX timestamps to packets before directing packets to
PFs or VFs and can notify the TX timestamps to PFs or VFs
via TX completion queue descriptors. Hence adding PTP
support for VFs is exactly similar to PFs with minimal changes.
This patchset adds that PTP support for VFs.

Patch 1 - When an interface is set in promisc/multicast
the same setting is not retained when changing mtu or channels.
This is due to toggling of the interface by driver but not
calling set_rx_mode in the down-up sequence. Since setting
an interface to multicast properly is required for ptp this is
addressed in this patch.

Patch 2 - Changes in VF driver for registering timestamping
ethtool ops and ndo_ioctl.

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.
