When sending a PTP event packet, add the correct filters that will make that future incoming unicast PTP event packets will be timestamped. The unicast address for the filter is gotten from the outgoing skb before sending it. Until now they were not timestamped because only filters that match with the PTP multicast addressed were being configured into the NIC for the PTP special channel. Packets received through different channels are not timestamped, getting "received SYNC without timestamp" error in ptp4l. Note that the inserted filters are never removed unless the NIC is stopped or reconfigured, so efx_ptp_stop is called. Removal of old filters will be handled by the next patch. Additionally, cleanup a bit efx_ptp_xmit_skb_mc to use the reverse xmas tree convention and remove an unnecessary assignment to rc variable in void function.

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.
