net: ptp: create a mock-up PTP Hardware Clock driver
There are several cases where virtual net devices may benefit from
having a PTP clock, and these have to do with testing. I can see at
least netdevsim and veth as potential users of a common mock-up PTP
hardware clock driver.
The proposed idea is to create an object which emulates PTP clock
operations on top of the unadjustable CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW plus a
software-controlled time domain via a timecounter/cyclecounter and then
link that PHC to the netdevsim device.
The driver is fully functional for its intended purpose, and it
successfully passes the PTP selftests.
$ cd tools/testing/selftests/ptp/
$ ./phc.sh /dev/ptp2
TEST: settime [ OK ]
TEST: adjtime [ OK ]
TEST: adjfreq [ OK ]
