Add support for allowing a VF to enable PTP feature - Rx timestamps The new capability is gated by VIRTCHNL_VF_CAP_PTP, which must be set by the VF to request access to the new operations. In addition, the VIRTCHNL_OP_1588_PTP_CAPS command is used to determine the specific capabilities available to the VF. This support includes the following additional capabilities: * Rx timestamps enabled in the Rx queues (when using flexible advanced descriptors) * Read access to PHC time over virtchnl using VIRTCHNL_OP_1588_PTP_GET_TIME Extra space is reserved in most structures to allow for future extension (like set clock, Tx timestamps). Additional opcode numbers are reserved and space in the virtchnl_ptp_caps structure is specifically set aside for this. Additionally, each structure has some space reserved for future extensions to allow some flexibility.

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 reStructuredText 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.
