Currently, userland has no method to query which timestamping features are supported by the peak_usb driver (aside maybe of getting RX messages and observe whether or not hardware timestamps stay at zero). The canonical way to add hardware timestamp support is to implement ethtool_ops::get_ts_info() in order to advertise the timestamping capabilities and to implement net_device_ops::ndo_eth_ioctl() as requested in [1]. Currently, the driver only supports hardware RX timestamps [2] but not hardware TX. For this reason, the generic function can_ethtool_op_get_ts_info_hwts() and can_eth_ioctl_hwts() can not be reused and instead this patch adds pcan_get_ts_info() and peak_eth_ioctl().

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.
