    net: dsa: sja1105: Change the PTP command access pattern · 66427778
    Vladimir Oltean authored
    The PTP command register contains enable bits for:
    - Putting the 64-bit PTPCLKVAL register in add/subtract or write mode
    - Taking timestamps off of the corrected vs free-running clock
    - Starting/stopping the TTEthernet scheduling
    - Starting/stopping PPS output
    - Resetting the switch
    
    When a command needs to be issued (e.g. "change the PTPCLKVAL from write
    mode to add/subtract mode"), one cannot simply write to the command
    register setting the PTPCLKADD bit to 1, because that would zeroize the
    other settings. One also cannot do a read-modify-write (that would be
    too easy for this hardware) because not all bits of the command register
    are readable over SPI.
    
    So this leaves us with the only option of keeping the value of the PTP
    command register in the driver, and operating on that.
    
    Actually there are 2 types of PTP operations now:
    - Operations that modify the cached PTP command. These operate on
      ptp_data->cmd as a pointer.
    - Operations that apply all previously cached PTP settings, but don't
      otherwise cache what they did themselves. The sja1105_ptp_reset
      function is such an example. It copies the ptp_data->cmd on stack
      before modifying and writing it to SPI.
    
    This practically means that struct sja1105_ptp_cmd is no longer an
    implementation detail, since it needs to be stored in full into struct
    sja1105_ptp_data, and hence in struct sja1105_private. So the (*ptp_cmd)
    function prototype can change and take struct sja1105_ptp_cmd as second
    argument now.
