A next patch will construct Tx header as part of pci.c. The switch driver (mlxsw_spectrum.ko) should encapsulate all the differences between the different ASICs and the bus driver (mlxsw_pci.ko) should remain unaware. As preparation, add the relevant info as part of mlxsw_txhdr_info structure, so later bus driver will merely construct the Tx header based on information passed from the switch driver. Most of the packets are transmitted as control packets, but PTP packets in Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3 should be handled differently. The driver transmits them as data packets, and the default VLAN tag (4095) is added if the packet is not already tagged. Extend PTP operations to store a boolean which indicates whether packets should be transmitted as data packets. Set it for Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3 only. Extend mlxsw_txhdr_info to store fields which will be used later to construct Tx header. Initialize such fields according to the new boolean which is stored in PTP operations. Note that for now, mlxsw_txhdr_info structure is initialized, but not used, a next patch will use 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 reStructuredText 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.
