All of the PHC drivers have been converted to the new methods. This patch
converts the three remaining callers within the core code and removes the
older methods for good. As a result, the core PHC code is ready for the
year 2038. However, some of the PHC drivers are not quite ready yet.

Converting the PHC drivers over to the new methods is one step along the
way to making them ready for 2038. Once all the drivers are up to date,
then the old methods will be removed.

This patch adds a pair of new ioctls to the PTP Hardware Clock device
interface. Using the ioctls, user space programs can query each pin to
find out its current function and also reprogram a different function
if desired.

This patch updates the adjfreq callback description to include a note that the
delta in ppb is always relative to the base frequency, and not to the current
frequency of the hardware clock.

There has been some confusion among PHC driver authors about the
intended purpose of the clock_name attribute. This patch expands the
documation in order to clarify how the clock_name field should be
understood.

PTP Hardware Clock devices appear as class devices in sysfs. This patch
changes the registration API to use the parent device, clarifying the
clock's relationship to the underlying device.

Initial version by Stuart Hodgson <smhodgson@solarflare.com>
Some PHC device drivers may deliver PPS events with a significant
and variable delay, but still be able to measure precisely what
that delay is.
Add a pps_sub_ts() function for subtracting a delay from the
timestamp(s) in a PPS event, and a PTP event type (PTP_CLOCK_PPSUSR)
for which the caller provides a complete PPS event.

This commit adds a method that MAC drivers may call in order to find out
the device number of their associated PTP Hardware Clock.

This patch adds an infrastructure for hardware clocks that implement
IEEE 1588, the Precision Time Protocol (PTP). A class driver offers a
registration method to particular hardware clock drivers. Each clock is
presented as a standard POSIX clock.
The ancillary clock features are exposed in two different ways, via
the sysfs and by a character device.
