net: dsa: hellcreek: Replace bogus comment

Replace bogus comment about matching the latched timestamp to one of the
received frames. That comment is probably copied from mv88e6xxx and true for
these switches. However, the hellcreek switch is configured to insert the
timestamp directly into the PTP packets.

While here, remove the other comments regarding the list splicing and locking as
well, because it doesn't add any value.

net_tstamp: add new flag HWTSTAMP_FLAG_BONDED_PHC_INDEX

Since commit 94dd016ae538 ("bond: pass get_ts_info and SIOC[SG]HWTSTAMP
ioctl to active device") the user could get bond active interface's
PHC index directly. But when there is a failover, the bond active
interface will change, thus the PHC index is also changed. This may
break the user's program if they did not update the PHC timely.

This patch adds a new hwtstamp_config flag HWTSTAMP_FLAG_BONDED_PHC_INDEX.
When the user wants to get the bond active interface's PHC, they need to
add this flag and be aware the PHC index may be changed.

With the new flag. All flag checks in current drivers are removed. Only
the checking in net_hwtstamp_validate() is kept.

net: dsa: no longer clone skb in core driver

It was a waste to clone skb directly in dsa_skb_tx_timestamp().
For one-step timestamping, a clone was not needed. For any failure of
port_txtstamp (this may usually happen), the skb clone had to be freed.

So this patch moves skb cloning for tx timestamp out of dsa core, and
let drivers clone skb in port_txtstamp if they really need.

net: dsa: hellcreek: Add support for hardware timestamping

The switch has the ability to take hardware generated time stamps per port for
PTPv2 event messages in Rx and Tx direction. That is useful for achieving needed
time synchronization precision for TSN devices/switches. So add support for it.

There are two directions:

* RX

The switch has a single register per port to capture a timestamp. That
mechanism is not used due to correlation problems. If the software processing
is too slow and a PTPv2 event message is received before the previous one has
been processed, false timestamps will be captured. Therefore, the switch can
do "inline" timestamping which means it can insert the nanoseconds part of
the timestamp directly into the PTPv2 event message. The reserved field (4
bytes) is leveraged for that. This might not be in accordance with (older)
PTP standards, but is the only way to get reliable results.

* TX

In Tx direction there is no correlation problem, because the software and the
driver has to ensure that only one event message is "on the fly". However,
the switch provides also a mechanism to check whether a timestamp is
lost. That can only happen when a timestamp is read and at this point another
message is timestamped. So, that lost bit is checked just in case to indicate
to the user that the driver or the software is somewhat buggy.
