[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH v4 0/4] Patchset enabling hardware based cross-timestamps for next gen Intel platforms

[Christopher S. Hall]

Modern Intel hardware adds an Always Running Timer (ART) that allows the
network and audio device clocks to precisely cross timestamp the device
clock with the system clock. This allows a precise correlation of the
device time and system time.

v4 adds a history which enables the audio DSP (a "slow" device) to perform
cross-timestamping.

Christopher S. Hall (4):
  Produce system time from correlated clocksource
  Always running timer correlated clocksource
  Add PTP_SYS_OFFSET_PRECISE for driver crosstimestamping
  Adds hardware supported cross timestamp
