====================
net: stmmac: allow generation of flexible PPS relative to MAC time

When doing some testing on stm32mp2x platforms(MACv5), I noticed that
the command previously used with a MACv4 for genering a PPS signal:
echo "0 0 0 1 1" > /sys/class/ptp/ptp0/period
did not work.

This is because the arguments passed through this command must contain
the start time at which the PPS should be generated, relative to the
MAC system time. For some reason, a time set in the past seems to work
with a MACv4.

Because passing such an argument is tedious, consider that any time
set in the past is an offset regarding the MAC system time. This way,
this does not impact existing scripts and the past time use case is
handled. Edit: But maybe that's not important and we can just change
the default behavior to this.

Example to generate a flexible PPS signal that has a 1s period 3s
relative to when the command was entered:

echo "0 3 0 1 1" > /sys/class/ptp/ptp0/period

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.
