[RFC net-next 00/22] ptp: get ready for 2038

[Richard Cochran <richardcochran@gmail.com>]

This series converts the core driver methods of the PTP Hardware Clock
(PHC) subsystem to use the 64 bit version of the timespec structure,
making the core API ready for the year 2038.

In addition, I reviewed how each driver and device represents the time
value at the hardware register level.  Most of the drivers are ready,
but a few will need some work before the year 2038, as shown:

   Patch   Driver
   ------------------------------------------------
   12      drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_ptp.c
   15 ?    drivers/net/ethernet/sfc/ptp.c
   16      drivers/net/ethernet/stmicro/stmmac/stmmac_ptp.c
   18 ?    drivers/net/ethernet/tile/tilegx.c
   19      drivers/net/phy/dp83640.c

The commit log message documents how each driver is ready or why it is
not ready.  For patches 15 and 18, I could not easily find out the
hardware representation of the time value, so I would ask the
maintainers for a review.

Thanks,
Richard
