Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 7/8] net: ena: Add error bound to PHC communication layer
Date: Thu, 30 Apr 2026 03:25:04 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260430032507.11586-8-akiyano@amazon.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260430032507.11586-1-akiyano@amazon.com>
Extend the ENA PHC communication layer to retrieve error bound from
the device.
Update ena_com_phc_get_timestamp() to retrieve error_bound alongside
timestamps.
Add error handling and statistics for error_bound retrieval failures.
