New timestamping API was introduced in commit 66f7223039c0 ("net: add
NDOs for configuring hardware timestamping") from kernel v6.6. It is
time to convert DSA to the new API, so that the ndo_eth_ioctl() path can
be removed completely.
Move the ds->ops->port_hwtstamp_get() and ds->ops->port_hwtstamp_set()
calls from dsa_user_ioctl() to dsa_user_hwtstamp_get() and
dsa_user_hwtstamp_set().
Due to the fact that the underlying ifreq type changes to
kernel_hwtstamp_config, the drivers and the Ocelot switchdev front-end,
all hooked up directly or indirectly, must also be converted all at once.
The conversion also updates the comment from dsa_port_supports_hwtstamp(),
which is no longer true because kernel_hwtstamp_config is kernel memory
and does not need copy_to_user(). I've deliberated whether it is
necessary to also update "err != -EOPNOTSUPP" to a more general "!err",
but all drivers now either return 0 or -EOPNOTSUPP.
The existing logic from the ocelot_ioctl() function, to avoid
configuring timestamping if the PHY supports the operation, is obsoleted
by more advanced core logic in dev_set_hwtstamp_phylib().
This is only a partial preparation for proper PHY timestamping support.
None of these switch driver currently sets up PTP traps for PHY
timestamping, so setting dev->see_all_hwtstamp_requests is not yet
necessary and the conversion is relatively trivial.

In prevision to add new UAPI for hwtstamp we will be limited to the struct
ethtool_ts_info that is currently passed in fixed binary format through the
ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO ethtool ioctl. It would be good if new kernel code
already started operating on an extensible kernel variant of that
structure, similar in concept to struct kernel_hwtstamp_config vs struct
hwtstamp_config.
Since struct ethtool_ts_info is in include/uapi/linux/ethtool.h, here
we introduce the kernel-only structure in include/linux/ethtool.h.
The manual copy is then made in the function called by ETHTOOL_GET_TS_INFO.

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.

Move ptp_classify_raw out of dsa core driver for handling tx
timestamp request. Let device drivers do this if they want.
Not all drivers want to limit tx timestamping for only PTP
packet.

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.
