nit: I'm unsure if this is important or not.
     But (on x86_64) the arrangement above leads to a 7-byte hole in the
     structure between ts_rx_append and ptp.

     Probably there is much scope to make adin1110_priv more
     cache-line friendly. But in this case an improvement may be
     to locate ts_rx_append immediately before or after append_crc,
     as there is also a 7-byte hole after append_crc.

     Likewise, I think there may be room to improve on the cache-line
     friendliness of the changes to this structure in patch 2/3.
