Subject: [PATCH] net: ravb: avoid dereferencing an invalid PTP clock

The PTP clock is unavailable before the first open, so querying its
index can dereference a NULL pointer. Registration failures can also
leave an error pointer in priv->ptp.clock.

Cache the PHC index separately and report -1 while no clock is
registered. Normalize registration errors to NULL and preserve the
static timestamping capabilities.

[PATCH 5.15.y 1/3] ravb: Remove setting of RX software timestamp

[Sasha Levin]

From: Gal Pressman <gal@nvidia.com>

[ Upstream commit 277901ee3a2620679e2c8797377d2a72f4358068 ]

The responsibility for reporting of RX software timestamp has moved to
the core layer (see __ethtool_get_ts_info()), remove usage from the
device drivers.

[PATCH 5.15.y 2/3] net: ravb: Only advertise Rx/Tx timestamps if hardware supports it

[Sasha Levin]

From: Niklas Söderlund <niklas.soderlund+renesas@ragnatech.se>

[ Upstream commit 126e799602f45e9ce1ded03ee9eadda68bf470e0 ]

Recent work moving the reporting of Rx software timestamps to the core
[1] highlighted an issue where hardware time stamping was advertised
for the platforms where it is not supported.

Fix this by covering advertising support for hardware timestamps only if
the hardware supports it. Due to the Tx implementation in RAVB software
Tx timestamping is also only considered if the hardware supports
hardware timestamps. This should be addressed in future, but this fix
only reflects what the driver currently implements.
