These are in the hot path, and so you should do the test before
calling the global function, something like this:

void gem_ptp_txstamp(struct macb *bp, struct sk_buff *skb);

static void gem_ptp_do_txstamp(struct macb *bp, struct sk_buff *skb)
{
	if (!bp->hwts_tx_en)
		return;
	gem_ptp_txstamp(bp, skb);
}

Ditto for Rx.

In order to round correctly, shouldn't this be?

	adj *= rate;
	adj += 500000UL << 16;
	adj >>= 16;
	diff = div_u64(adj, 1000000UL);

What is this computation, and how does it relate to the comment?

Does it timestamp PTP event packets only, or all packets?

(See my comment in patch 2/2)
