Any change to the hardware timestamps configuration triggers nic restart, which breaks transmition and reception of network packets for a while. But there is no need to fully restart the device because while configuring hardware timestamps. The code for changing configuration runs after all of the initialisation, when the NIC is actually up and running. This patch changes the code that ioctl will only update configuration registers and will not trigger carrier status change, but in case of timestamps for all rx packetes it fallbacks to close()/open() sequnce because of synchronization issues in the hardware. Tested on BCM57504.

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.
