This series adds PTP hardware timestamping support to the NETC switch
DSA driver. The NETC switch has no time registers of its own; it shares
the PTP time base of the NETC Timer, which is a separate PCIe function
driven by the ptp_netc timer driver. The series therefore first prepares
the timer driver to expose the current PTP time to other drivers, then
builds RX, two-step TX and one-step TX timestamping on top of it in the
switch driver and its DSA tagger.

The series is organized in two parts.

Preparation of the NETC Timer driver (patches 1-3):

  1) Convert the open-coded 64-bit register accesses to the
     ioread64_lo_hi()/iowrite64_lo_hi() helpers, wrapped in
     netc_timer_rd64()/netc_timer_wr64(), to reduce boilerplate and make
     the access width explicit. No functional change.

  2) Drop the pcie_flr() call in probe. Per the reference manual, function
     level reset does not apply to the Timer as a supporting function, so
     the call has no effect.

  3) Export netc_timer_get_current_time() so the switch driver, a separate
     PCIe function, can read the shared PTP time. The helper is declared
     in <linux/fsl/netc_global.h> under CONFIG_PTP_NETC_V4_TIMER with a
     stub returning 0 when the timer is disabled, so callers need no hard
     dependency on the timer driver, and returns 0 when the timer has not
     probed or is gone so the caller can handle it gracefully.

NETC switch PTP support (patches 4-7):

  4) Track the host flood rule by entry ID instead of by ipft_entry_data
     pointer, freeing the descriptor as soon as the hardware entry is
     committed. This removes a long-lived heap allocation and lets
     netc_free_host_flood_rules() go away, in preparation for the
     timestamping rules added next.

  5) Enable the ingress port filtering lookup (IPFT) by default. A frame
     that matches no entry is simply passed on, so leaving the lookup
     always enabled simplifies the logic and avoids tracking whether a
     port already has an IPFT entry, which the RX timestamping rules rely
     on.

  6) Add two-step TX timestamping and RX timestamping. RX installs IPFT
     rules that redirect PTP frames (L2, L4 over IPv4/IPv6, event and
     general) to the CPU port; the hardware prepends a To_Host tag with
     the 64-bit ingress timestamp, which the tagger hands to
     netc_port_rxtstamp(). Two-step TX clones the skb, allocates a 4-bit
     request ID carried in a To_Port subtype 2 tag, and completes the
     clone when the hardware echoes the ID and transmit timestamp back in
     a To_Host response frame.

  7) Add one-step TX timestamping for PTP Sync frames. The MAC updates the
     correction field in flight using the per-port PM_SINGLE_STEP register,
     which is a single register that must be programmed per frame, so
     one-step Sync transmission is serialized per port with a per-port PTP
     spinlock guarding an in-flight slot and a deferral queue. This patch
     switches the Kconfig dependency to PTP_NETC_V4_TIMER because it reads
     the shared PTP time through the helper exported in patch 3.

Wei Fang (7):
  ptp: netc: use ioread64_lo_hi/iowrite64_lo_hi for 64-bit register
    access
  ptp: netc: remove unnecessary pcie_flr() call in probe
  ptp: netc: export netc_timer_get_current_time() for cross-driver use
  net: dsa: netc: use entry ID instead of pointer to track host flood
    rule
  net: dsa: netc: enable ingress port filtering lookup by default
  net: dsa: netc: add PTP two-step timestamping support
  net: dsa: netc: add PTP one-step timestamping support
