[PATCH] ptp: measure the time offset between PHC and system clock

[PATCH] ptp: measure the time offset between PHC and system clock

[Dong Zhu]

This patch add a method into testptp.c to measure the time offset
between phc and system clock through the ioctl PTP_SYS_OFFSET.

This is a nice addition to the testptp program. I do have a few
comments, below.

First off, the subject line should mention testptp. How about this?

The help message should tell the user what 'val' is.

                                                    ^^^^
I think the output would look nicer with only one newline. After all,
each measurement is a {sys,phc,sys} triplet and not a {sys,phc} pair.

It looks better, but could you please tweak a few more things?

> Subject: Re: [PATCH] ptp: add the PTP_SYS_OFFSET ioctl to the testptp program clock

The subject line has the word "clock" at the end by mistake.

This line is getting a bit too long for the terminal. Please line up
the text, like this:

		" -k val     measure the time offset between phc and system clock\n"
		"            for 'val' times (Maximum 25)\n"

Also, when you resubmit the patch, add "net-next" and a patch version,
like this: [PATCH net-next v3].

Thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard,

I developed a new patch and added a method to estimate the time offset
between system and phc clock.

Could you help reviewing it again ? If it do make sense I hope it could
be accepted.

Thanks !

    Don't break the string constant that way, there'll be all spaces between 
"and" and "system" included in it. Do it like this:

			puts("time offset between PHC and "
			     "system clock request okay");
