H A Dbnxt_ptp.hdiff 85036aee1938d65da4be6ae1bc7e5e7e30b567b9 Mon Nov 07 01:16:32 CET 2022 Pavan Chebbi <pavan.chebbi@broadcom.com> bnxt_en: Add a non-real time mode to access NIC clock

When using a PHC that is shared between multiple hosts,
in order to achieve consistent timestamps across all hosts,
we need to isolate the PHC from any host making frequency
adjustments.

This patch adds a non-real time mode for this purpose.
The implementation is based on a free running NIC hardware timer
which is used as the timestamper time-base. Each host implements
individual adjustments to a local timecounter based on the NIC free
running timer.
