The QUSGMII mode is a derivative of Cisco's USXGMII standard. This standard is pretty similar to SGMII, but allows for faster speeds, and has the build-in bits for Quad and Octa variants (like QSGMII). The main difference with SGMII/QSGMII is that USXGMII/QUSGMII re-uses the preamble to carry various information, named 'Extensions'. As of today, the USXGMII standard only mentions the "PCH" extension, which is used to convey timestamps, allowing in-band signaling of PTP timestamps without having to modify the frame itself. This commit adds support for that mode. When no extension is in use, it behaves exactly like QSGMII, although it's not compatible with QSGMII.

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.
