[PATCH net-next v2] net: mvpp2: tai: warn once if we fail to update our timestamp

[PATCH net-next v2] net: mvpp2: tai: warn once if we fail to update our timestamp

[Russell King]

The hardware timestamps for packets contain a truncated seconds field,
only containing two bits of seconds. In order to provide the full
number of seconds, we need to keep track of the full hardware clock by
reading it every two seconds.

However, if we fail to read the clock, we silently ignore the error.
Print a warning indicating that the PP2 TAI clock timestamps have
become unreliable.

Only small nitpick/question - shouldn't text end with '\n'? I see in the
code that most of calls of dev_warn_once has '\n' at the end.

Nevertheless the code itself looks good to me, nice improvement.

Yes, thanks for spotting.
