[PATCHv2 net-next 0/3] add gettimex64() support for mlx4

[PATCHv2 net-next 0/3] add gettimex64() support for mlx4

[Mahesh Bandewar]

The current driver only supports the gettime64() PTP clock read
operation. This series introduces support for gettimex64(), which
provides pre- and post-timestamps using one of the supported clock
bases to help measure the clock-read width.

The first patch reorganizes the code to enable the existing
clock-read method to handle pre- and post-timestamps. The second
patch adds the gettimex64() functionality.

Mahesh Bandewar (3):
  mlx4: introduce the time_cache into the mlx4 PTP implementation
  mlx4: update mlx4_read_clock() to provide pre/post timestamps
  mlx4: add gettimex64() ptp method

This paragraph is outdated, you must update the cover letter according 
to the series contents.

Additionally please fix you git configuration; you should set 
format.thread=shallow

Thanks,

Paolo
