SubjectRe: [PATCH] Add pch ieee1588 driver for Intel EG20T PCH

Hi Richard

I added comment below.
Please confirm them

modify as follows.

#define DEFAULT_ADDEND 0xA0000000
#define TICKS_NS_SHIFT 5

ch_control register was set as 0x80020000 (Version:1, mode:2 )

It renames to "register_lock"

These functions are removed.

add spin lock.

We have a board of atom(E600) and EG20T.
However there is no environment for confirming auxiliary snapshot.

Mac driver already upstreamed. ( drivers/net/pch_gbe)
However the code relevant to IEEE1588 is not contained into Ethernet driver.
I have question about rx/tx snapshot.
Is it necessary to use a snapshot within an Ethernet driver driver?
I was indicated that there must not be any dependence of a device when the
Ethernet driver was upstreamed.

Currently, there is no plan.
