Resolve an issue related to images with multiple PFs per physical port. We cannot fully support 1588 PTP features, since only one port should control (ie: write) the registers at a time. Doing so can cause interference of functionality. It may be possible to partially implement the API for only those features without side effects. However, this at minimum means non controlling PFs lose Tx timestamps, frequency atunement, and possibly SYSTIME adjustment. There may be further impact I did not discover. Since the API in the kernel expects these features to work, it is simpler and less dangerous to just disable PTP features on all PFs not identified as the controlling PF in PRTTSYN_CTL0.PF_ID. This change also removes the warning printed when hwtstaml IOCTL is called on the wrong PF. This is actually meaningless now, since only one PF per port will support it. In addition, the ethtool get_ts_info IOCTL was updated so that only the controlling port will even indicate support (so as not to confuse users). The overall downside is complete loss of functionality on non controlling PF, vs the possible gain of partial support. The biggest factor for choosing this approach is simplicity and ensuring that the main PF will work. There could easily be other portions of the 1588 logic with side effects I am not aware, and the reduced functionality that might be made available is significantly less useful. In addition, the API does not allow for proper indication of why particular features are not supported. These reasons are enough to decide for the simpler approach to resolving this issue.
