Comment in the code please. Also, please spell it out explicitly that
the tail tag size changes for all TX packets, PTP or not, if PTP
timestamping is enabled. Your phrasing can be unclear and the reader may
think that only PTP packets require a larger tail tag.

Let's be clear, hwtstamp_get_state() deals with TX timestamping, and
config.rx_filter deals with RX timestamping. Don't mix the two.
Using custom programs like testptp, you can enable RX timestamping but
not TX timestamping, or the other way around. You don't want the driver
to get confused.

Can the switch provide RX timestamps for all kinds of Ethernet packets,
not just PTP? If not, then report just what it can timestamp.

As discussed, I don't really think there exists a case for hwtstamp_get_state().
Don't abuse the tagger-owned storage.

Stronger. Time stamp tag *needs* to be inserted if PTP is enabled in hardware.
Regardless of whether this is a PTP frame or not.

I think you don't think this is confusing. But it is confusing.
2 years from now, when this patch gets submitted again for being merged,
I don't want to ask the same questions again.
