    net: ptp: do not reimplement PTP/BPF classifier · 164d8c66
    Daniel Borkmann authored
    There are currently pch_gbe, cpts, and ixp4xx_eth drivers that open-code
    and reimplement a BPF classifier for the PTP protocol. Since all of them
    effectively do the very same thing and load the very same PTP/BPF filter,
    we can just consolidate that code by introducing ptp_classify_raw() in
    the time-stamping core framework which can be used in drivers.
    
    As drivers get initialized after bootstrapping the core networking
    subsystem, they can make use of ptp_insns wrapped through
    ptp_classify_raw(), which allows to simplify and remove PTP classifier
    setup code in drivers.
    
    Joint work with Alexei Starovoitov.
