Subject: [PATCH v8 net-next 00/12] Introduce ndo_hwtstamp_get() and ndo_hwtstamp_set()

Based on previous RFCs from Maxim Georgiev:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[email protected]/

this series attempts to introduce new API for the hardware timestamping
control path (SIOCGHWTSTAMP and SIOCSHWTSTAMP handling).

I don't have any board with phylib hardware timestamping, so I would
appreciate testing (especially on lan966x, the most intricate
conversion). I was, however, able to test netdev level timestamping,
because I also have some more unsubmitted conversions in progress:

https://github.com/vladimiroltean/linux/commits/ndo-hwtstamp-v7

I hope that the concerns expressed in the comments of previous series
were addressed, and that Köry Maincent's series:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[email protected]/
can make progress in parallel with the conversion of the rest of drivers.

Maxim Georgiev (5):
net: add NDOs for configuring hardware timestamping
net: add hwtstamping helpers for stackable net devices
net: vlan: convert to ndo_hwtstamp_get() / ndo_hwtstamp_set()
net: macvlan: convert to ndo_hwtstamp_get() / ndo_hwtstamp_set()
net: bonding: convert to ndo_hwtstamp_get() / ndo_hwtstamp_set()

Vladimir Oltean (7):
net: fec: convert to ndo_hwtstamp_get() and ndo_hwtstamp_set()
net: fec: delete fec_ptp_disable_hwts()
net: sparx5: convert to ndo_hwtstamp_get() and ndo_hwtstamp_set()
net: lan966x: convert to ndo_hwtstamp_get() and ndo_hwtstamp_set()
net: transfer rtnl_lock() requirement from
ethtool_set_ethtool_phy_ops() to caller
net: phy: provide phylib stubs for hardware timestamping operations
net: remove phy_has_hwtstamp() -> phy_mii_ioctl() decision from
converted drivers

Subject: [PATCH v8 net-next 11/12] net: phy: provide phylib stubs for hardware timestamping operations

net/core/dev_ioctl.c (built-in code) will want to call phy_mii_ioctl()
for hardware timestamping purposes. This is not directly possible,
because phy_mii_ioctl() is a symbol provided under CONFIG_PHYLIB.

Do something similar to what was done in DSA in commit 5a17818682cf
("net: dsa: replace NETDEV_PRE_CHANGE_HWTSTAMP notifier with a stub"),
and arrange some indirect calls to phy_mii_ioctl() through a stub
structure containing function pointers, that's provided by phylib as
built-in even when CONFIG_PHYLIB=m, and which phy_init() populates at
runtime (module insertion).

Note: maybe the ownership of the ethtool_phy_ops singleton is backwards,
and the methods exposed by that should be later merged into phylib_stubs.

I'll be waiting until the end of today for more feedback, then I'll
resend this with all the pieces actually added to the commit (and with
include/linux/phylib_stubs.h part of the ETHERNET PHY LIBRARY entry in
MAINTAINERS).
