From 73f37068d540eba5f93ba3a0019bf479d35ebd76 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yangbo Lu Date: Wed, 30 Jun 2021 16:11:53 +0800 Subject: ptp: support ptp physical/virtual clocks conversion Support ptp physical/virtual clocks conversion via sysfs. There will be a new attribute n_vclocks under ptp physical clock sysfs. - In default, the value is 0 meaning only ptp physical clock is in use. - Setting the value can create corresponding number of ptp virtual clocks to use. But current physical clock is guaranteed to stay free running. - Setting the value back to 0 can delete virtual clocks and back use physical clock again. Another new attribute max_vclocks control the maximum number of ptp vclocks. Signed-off-by: Yangbo Lu Signed-off-by: David S.
