The PTP time of the switch is not preserved when uploading a new static configuration. Work around this hardware oddity by reading its PTP time before a static config upload, and restoring it afterwards. Static config changes are expected to occur at runtime even in scenarios directly related to PTP, i.e. the Time-Aware Scheduler of the switch is programmed in this way. Perhaps the larger implication of this patch is that the PTP .gettimex64 and .settime functions need to be exposed to sja1105_main.c, where the PTP lock needs to be held during this entire process. So their core implementation needs to move to some common functions which get exposed in sja1105_ptp.h. Signed-off-by: Vladimir Oltean <olteanv@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
