Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] ptp: introduce PTP_CLOCK_EXTOFF event for the measured external offset

From: Min Li <[email protected]>

This change is for the PHC devices that can measure the phase offset
between PHC signal and the external signal, such as the 1PPS signal of
GNSS. Reporting PTP_CLOCK_EXTOFF to user space will be piggy-backed to
the existing ptp_extts_event so that application such as ts2phc can
poll the external offset the same way as extts. Hence, ts2phc can use
the offset to achieve the alignment between PHC and the external signal
by the help of either SW or HW filters.

Does not apply to net-next.

Hi Jakub

I submitted an RFC last week and Richard was asking me to submit it together with a driver change as an example to implement it. Below is
Richard's quote

"Yes, the new option must wait for a driver that implements it. Can you make a patch series where the driver change appears in the second patch?"

But the driver that I submitted is a brand new PHC driver. So I don't know if it is appropriate to separate them to net and net-next? Because the driver
change depends on the this patch.

What's in your tree? What I'm saying is that the diff context does not
match net-next:

$ git checkout net-next/main
$ git pw series apply 804642
Applying: ptp: introduce PTP_CLOCK_EXTOFF event for the measured external offset
Using index info to reconstruct a base tree...
M drivers/ptp/ptp_clock.c
Falling back to patching base and 3-way merge...
Auto-merging drivers/ptp/ptp_clock.c
Applying: ptp: add FemtoClock3 Wireless as ptp hardware clock


Do you have any intermediate commits in your local branch?
Or perhaps the patches are based on some other tree, not net-next?
