H A Dclock.c2e0645a0 Thu Nov 14 12:45:00 CST 2019 Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@intel.com> mlx5: reject unsupported external timestamp flags

Fix the mlx5 core PTP support to explicitly reject any future flags that
get added to the external timestamp request ioctl.

In order to maintain currently functioning code, this patch accepts all
three current flags. This is because the PTP_RISING_EDGE and
PTP_FALLING_EDGE flags have unclear semantics and each driver seems to
have interpreted them slightly differently.

[ RC: I'm not 100% sure what this driver does, but if I'm not wrong it
follows the dp83640:

flags Meaning
---------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
PTP_ENABLE_FEATURE Time stamp rising edge
PTP_ENABLE_FEATURE|PTP_RISING_EDGE Time stamp rising edge
PTP_ENABLE_FEATURE|PTP_FALLING_EDGE Time stamp falling edge
PTP_ENABLE_FEATURE|PTP_RISING_EDGE|PTP_FALLING_EDGE Time stamp falling edge
