Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 1/2] net: remove legacy way to get/set HW timestamp config
Date: Fri, 16 Jan 2026 06:21:20 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260116062121.1230184-1-vadim.fedorenko@linux.dev> (raw)

With all drivers converted to use ndo_hwstamp callbacks the legacy way
can be removed, marking ioctl interface as deprecated.

Signed-off-by: Vadim Fedorenko <vadim.fedorenko@linux.dev>
---
v1 -> v2:
* added cleanup in Infiniband
* adjusted documentation to remove mentions of legacy way

 to the shared time stamp structure of the skb call skb_hwtstamps(). Then
