Backport Submissions for Up streamed IGC Ethernet Driver Patches

[Abdul Rahim, Faizal]

Dear Stable Maintainers,

I am submitting several individual patches for consideration to be applied to the Linux stable kernel v6.1. 
Below, you will find the necessary information for each patch:

Patch 1:

Subject: igc: remove I226 Qbv BaseTime restriction
Commit ID: b8897dc54e3b
Reason for Application: Remove the Qbv BaseTime restriction for I226 so that the BaseTime can be scheduled to the future time
Target Kernel Version: v6.1

Patch 2:

Subject: igc: enable Qbv configuration for 2nd GCL
Commit ID: 5ac1231ac14d
Reason for Application: Make reset task only executes for i225 and Qbv disabling to allow i226 configure for 2nd GCL without resetting the adapter.
Target Kernel Version: v6.1

Patch 3:

Subject: igc: Remove reset adapter task for i226 during disable tsn config
Commit ID: 1d1b4c63ba73
Reason for Application: Removes the power cycle restriction so that when user configure/remove any TSN mode, it would not go into power cycle reset adapter.
Target Kernel Version: v6.1

Patch 4:

Subject: igc: Add qbv_config_change_errors counter
Commit ID: ae4fe4698300
Reason for Application: Add ConfigChangeError(qbv_config_change_errors) when user try to set the AdminBaseTime to past value while the current GCL is still running.
Target Kernel Version: v6.1

Patch 5:

Subject: igc: Add condition for qbv_config_change_errors counter
Commit ID: ed89b74d2dc9
Reason for Application: Fix patch ae4fe4698300 ("igc: Add qbv_config_change_errors counter")
Target Kernel Version: v6.1

Patch 6:

Subject: igc: Fix race condition in PTP Tx code
Commit ID: 9c50e2b150c8
Reason for Application: Fix race condition introduced by patch 2c344ae24501 ("igc: Add support for TX timestamping")
Target Kernel Version: v6.1


Thank you for your time and consideration.
