This patch has a bug, unfortunately....

This quad calculation is wrong, it should be:

  tx->quad = port / ICE_PORTS_PER_QUAD;

This causes the incorrect quad number to be used for all ports except
for port 0. Because of this, Tx timestamps only work on port 0.

Can we fix this and have a v4? If not, a fix commit will be required.

Thanks,
Jake
