can: kvaser_usb: advertise timestamping capabilities and add ioctl support

Browse source

Currently, userland has no method to query which timestamping features
are supported by the kvaser_usb driver (aside maybe of getting RX
messages and observe whether or not hardware timestamps stay at zero).

The canonical way for a network driver to advertise what kind of
timestamping it supports is to implement
ethtool_ops::get_ts_info(). Here, we use the CAN specific
can_ethtool_op_get_ts_info_hwts() function to achieve this.

In addition, the driver currently does not support the hardware
timestamps ioctls. According to [1], SIOCSHWTSTAMP is "must" and
SIOCGHWTSTAMP is "should". This patch fills up that gap by
implementing net_device_ops::ndo_eth_ioctl() using the CAN specific
function can_eth_ioctl_hwts().
