Subject: net: mvpp2: tai: add extts support

This patch series adds support for PTP event capture on the Aramda
80x0/70x0. This feature is mainly used by tools linux ts2phc(3) in order
to synchronize a timestamping unit (like the mvpp2's TAI) and a system
DPLL on the same PCB.

The patch series includes 3 patches: the second one implements the
actual extts function.

Thank you for the patches. For v3, could you please generate a cover
letter and properly number all the patches? Please also list the
changes between the revisions.

What setup/tooling is required to verify the changes?

Best regards,
Marcin

Hi Marcin,

No problem. Thanks.

In to test it, you'll need an Armada 80x0/70x0-based PCB, with a PPS
input that goes to a PTP_PULSE pin and a GPIO pin. Then, define the
gpio pin as a pps-gpio and run ts4phc (from linuxptp) as follow:

ts2phc -s /dev/ppsX -c /dev/ptpY

Replace X with the relevant pps device ID, and Y with the ptp device
that PTP_PULSE is connected to (CP0 or CP1).

If anything goes well, you should see that ts2phc gets to about ~0-1
ns of offset between the clocks.
