Commit0ac30ce433("i40e: fix up 32 bit timespec references", 2017-07-26) claims to be cleaning up references to 32-bit timespecs. The actual contents of the commit make no sense, as it converts a call to timespec64_add into timespec64_add_ns. This would seem ok, if (a) the change was documented in the commit message, and (b) timespec64_add_ns supported negative numbers. timespec64_add_ns doesn't work with signed deltas, because the implementation is based around iter_div_u64_rem. This change resulted in a regression where i40e_ptp_adjtime would interpret small negative adjustments as large positive additions, resulting in incorrect behavior. This commit doesn't appear to fix anything, is not well explained, and introduces a bug, so lets just revert it.

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.
