3499116b91 PTP: convert class code to use dev_groups
The dev_attrs field of struct class is going away soon, dev_groups
should be used instead.  This converts the ptp class code to use the
correct field.

7356a764cd ptp: dynamic allocation of PHC char devices
As network adapters supporting PTP are becoming more common, machines with
many NICs suddenly have many PHCs, too. The current limit of eight /dev/ptp*
char devices (and thus, 8 network interfaces with PHC) is insufficient. Let
the ptp driver allocate the char devices dynamically.

Tested with 28 PHCs, removing and re-adding some of them.

Thanks to Ben Hutchings for advice leading to simpler and cleaner patch.

1ef761582c ptp: link the phc device to its parent device
PTP Hardware Clock devices appear as class devices in sysfs. This patch
changes the registration API to use the parent device, clarifying the
clock's relationship to the underlying device.

5c35bad5ff ptp: provide the clock's adjusted frequency
If the timex.mode field indicates a query, then we provide the value of
the current frequency adjustment.

39a8cbd9ca ptp: remember the adjusted frequency
This patch adds a field to the representation of a PTP hardware clock in
order to remember the frequency adjustment value dialed by the user.

Adding this field will let us answer queries in the manner of adjtimex
in a follow on patch.

220a60a425 pps/ptp: Allow PHC devices to adjust PPS events for known delay
Initial version by Stuart Hodgson <smhodgson@solarflare.com>

Some PHC device drivers may deliver PPS events with a significant
and variable delay, but still be able to measure precisely what
that delay is.

Add a pps_sub_ts() function for subtracting a delay from the
timestamp(s) in a PPS event, and a PTP event type (PTP_CLOCK_PPSUSR)
for which the caller provides a complete PPS event.

the device number of their associated PTP Hardware Clock.

d94ba80ebb ptp: Added a brand new class driver for ptp clocks.
This patch adds an infrastructure for hardware clocks that implement
IEEE 1588, the Precision Time Protocol (PTP). A class driver offers a
registration method to particular hardware clock drivers. Each clock is
presented as a standard POSIX clock.

The ancillary clock features are exposed in two different ways, via
the sysfs and by a character device.
