    ixgbe: fix PTP SDP pin setup on X540 hardware · 68d9676f
    Jacob Keller authored
    The function ixgbe_ptp_setup_sdp_X540 attempts to program a software
    defined pin, in order to generate a pulse-per-second output on SDP 0.
    
    It does work to generate the output, but does not align the output on
    the full second. Additionally, it does not take into account the
    cyclecounter multiplier. This leads to somewhat confusing code which is
    likely to be incorrect if blindly copied to another hardware type.
    
    Update this code to account for the cyclecounter multiplier, and to
    directly use timecounter_read.
    
    This change ensures that the SDP output will align properly on a full
    second, and makes the intent of the calculations a bit more clear.
