If the DWMAC Ethernet device has already set the Qbv EST configuration
before using ptp to synchronize the time adjustment, the Qbv base time
may change to be the past time of the new current time. This is not
allowed by hardware.
This patch calculates and re-configures the Qbv basetime after ptp time
adjustment.

This time may no longer be what the user specified originally, it was
adjusted based on the gptp time when the configuration was first made.
IMHO, if we want to respect the user configuration then we need to do
the calculation here based on the original time.
Typically (using arbitrary units):
a) User configures basetime of 0, at gptp time 1000
b) btr is update to 1000, schedule starts
c) later, gptp time is updated to 500
d-1) with current patch, schedule will restart at 1000 (i.e remains
disabled for 500)
d-2) with my suggestion, schedule will restart at 500 (which matches the
user request, "start as soon as possible".

Hmm... the locking needs to move up. Reading + writting btr/ctr should
be atomic.

It is not the correct operation sequence for the user to configure Qbv before ptp clock synchronization. After adjusting the ptp clock time, it is no longer possible to determine whether the previously set basetime is what the user wants. I think our driver only needs to ensure that the set basetime meets the hardware regulations, and the hardware can work normally. So I only updated the past basetime. I am not sure if it is appropriate to reset EST configure in the PTP driver, but this case will cause the hardware to not work.

The way I see it, a ptp clock discontinuity may happen at any time
(change of grand master, grand master discontinuity, ...) outside of the
user control. So having the driver handle all corner cases looked like a
good solution to me.
> After adjusting the ptp clock time, it is no longer possible to determine whether the previously set basetime is what the user wants.
I may be assuming too much, but usually a Qbv schedule is determined by
some central identity based on an absolute time (not related to the
current time in the endpoint). So with this assumption I was considering
the time specified by the user as "correct", independently of the
current local ptp time.
> I think our driver only needs to ensure that the set basetime meets the hardware regulations, and the hardware can work normally. So I only updated the past basetime.
Understood, but from the point of view of the user I think the case you
are already handling and the one I mentioned are very similar. Qbv
schedule doesn't work as intended after the clock jump. Also, my
suggestion simplifies a bit the code (no conversion from hardware to
ktime), at the cost of adding extra data (software backup of the
original user ktime).

I'm not 100% sure either and I was hoping to see other people comments
(and I haven't checked yet how other drivers are handling this).
That said, to handle this properly in userspace, IMHO you would need:
- some process monitoring the ptp clock and detecting jumps
- the process would need to be aware of the current Qbv schedule
- when a jump is detected, re-do the Qbv configuration
Overall, handling the issue transparently in the driver, seems like a
better solution.
