In Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3, the correction field of PTP packets which are sent as control packets is not updated at egress port. To overcome this limitation, PTP packets which require time stamp, should be sent as data packets with the following details: 1. FID valid = 1 2. FID value above the maximum FID 3. rx_router_port = 1 >From Spectrum-4 and on, this limitation will be solved. Extend the function which handles TX header, in case that the packet is a PTP packet, add TX header with type=data and all the above mentioned requirements. Add operation as part of 'struct mlxsw_sp_ptp_ops', to be able to separate the handling of PTP packets between different ASICs. Use the data packet solution only for Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3. Therefore, add a dedicated operation structure for Spectrum-4, as it will be same to Spectrum-2 in PTP implementation, just will not have the limitation of control packets.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
