[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH iwl-next v7 00/12] Add support for Rx timestamping for both ice and iavf drivers.

Initially, during VF creation it registers the PTP clock in
the system and negotiates with PF it's capabilities. In the
meantime the PF enables the Flexible Descriptor for VF.
Only this type of descriptor allows to receive Rx timestamps.

Enabling virtual clock would be possible, though it would probably
perform poorly due to the lack of direct time access.

Enable timestamping should be done using userspace tools, e.g.
hwstamp_ctl -i $VF -r 14

In order to report the timestamps to userspace, the VF extends
timestamp to 40b.

To support this feature the flexible descriptors and PTP part
in iavf driver have been introduced.
