Hi all,

I'm in the stage of integrating an IEEE1588 PTP driver for the AMCC 405EZ PPC 
and looking for the correct location to place this driver in the Linux source 
tree. The driver is a character-driver that enables the user space 
applications to configure the time stamping unit and to read/write the 
timestamps.

Is "drivers/net/ptp" or "drivers/net/ieee1588" a good solution? Or should it 
go to "drivers/char/ptp" because of the chrdev nature of the driver?

Any suggestions welcome (could be that I missed an already existing example).

Best regards,
Stefan
