    net: microchip: lan743x: improve throughput with rx timestamp config · 169e0a5e
    Vishvambar Panth S authored
    Currently all RX frames are timestamped which results in a performance
    penalty when timestamping is not needed.  The default is now being
    changed to not timestamp any Rx frames (HWTSTAMP_FILTER_NONE), but
    support has been added to allow changing the desired RX timestamping
    mode (HWTSTAMP_FILTER_ALL -  which was the previous setting and
    HWTSTAMP_FILTER_PTP_V2_EVENT are now supported) using
    SIOCSHWTSTAMP. All settings were tested using the hwstamp_ctl application.
    It is also noted that ptp4l, when started, preconfigures the device to
    timestamp using HWTSTAMP_FILTER_PTP_V2_EVENT, so this driver continues
    to work properly "out of the box".
    
    Test setup:  x64 PC with LAN7430 ---> x64 PC as partner
