Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] net/iavf: reuse device alarm for PHC sync
Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2026 17:22:08 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260406212208.1562899-3-soumyadeep.hore@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260406212208.1562899-1-soumyadeep.hore@intel.com>
Reuse existing iavf device alarm cadence to drive periodic PHC sync
instead of a dedicated PHC alarm callback.
Keep PHC start/stop hooks as pause/resume controls around queue
reconfiguration and device lifecycle paths.
