[PATCH net-next RFC 1/1] ptp: use extts interface for the measured external offset

From: Min Li
Date: Mon Nov 13 2023 - 17:00:41 EST


From: Min Li <min.li.xe@xxxxxxxxxxx>

This change is for the PHC devices that can measure the
phase offset between PHC signal and the external signal, such
as GNSS. With this change, ts2phc can use the existing extts
interface to retrieve measurement offset so that the alignment
between PHC and the external signal can be achieved.
