Currently, some CAN drivers support hardware timestamping, some do not. But userland has no method to query which features are supported (aside maybe of getting RX messages and observe whether or not hardware timestamps stay at zero). The canonical way for a network driver to advertised what kind of timestamping it supports is to implement ethtool_ops::get_ts_info(). This patch only targets the CAN drivers which *do not* support hardware timestamping. For each of those CAN drivers, implement the get_ts_info() using the generic ethtool_op_get_ts_info(). This way, userland can do: | $ ethtool --show-time-stamping canX to confirm the device timestamping capacities. N.B. the drivers which support hardware timestamping will be migrated in separate patches.

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.
