Commit 340746398b ("net: fec: fix hardware time stamping by external
devices") was overly cautious with calling fec_ptp_disable_hwts() when
cmd == SIOCSHWTSTAMP and use_fec_hwts == false, because use_fec_hwts is
based on a runtime invariant (phy_has_hwtstamp()). Thus, if use_fec_hwts
is false, then fep->hwts_tx_en and fep->hwts_rx_en cannot be changed at
runtime; their values depend on the initial memory allocation, which
already sets them to zeroes.
If the core will ever gain support for switching timestamping layers,
it will arrange for a more organized calling convention and disable
timestamping in the previous layer as a first step. This means that the
code in the FEC driver is not necessary in any case.
The purpose of this change is to arrange the phy_has_hwtstamp() code in
a way in which it can be refactored away into generic logic.

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.
