Vladimir Oltean ed1fe1bebe net: dsa: make dsa_master_ioctl() see through port_hwtstamp_get() shims
There are multi-generational drivers like mv88e6xxx which have code like
this:

int mv88e6xxx_port_hwtstamp_get(struct dsa_switch *ds, int port,
				struct ifreq *ifr)
{
	if (!chip->info->ptp_support)
		return -EOPNOTSUPP;

	...
}

DSA wants to deny PTP timestamping on the master if the switch supports
timestamping too. However it currently relies on the presence of the
port_hwtstamp_get() callback to determine PTP capability, and this
clearly does not work in that case (method is present but returns
-EOPNOTSUPP).

We should not deny PTP on the DSA master for those switches which truly
do not support hardware timestamping.

Create a dsa_port_supports_hwtstamp() method which actually probes for
support by calling port_hwtstamp_get() and seeing whether that returned
-EOPNOTSUPP or not.
