Hi Chris,

Same question as in the v1 thread:

I saw a former version of the patch which additionally added a mutex
lock/unlock in igc_ptp_reset() just before calling igc_ptm_trigger().
Is it safe to skip that?  igc_ptp_reset() is called from igc_reset()
which in turn is called from quite a few places.


Thanks,
Corinna
