Some Ethernet controllers do not have an integrated PTP timer function. Instead, the PTP timer is a separated device and provides PTP hardware clock to the Ethernet controller to use. Therefore, the Ethernet controller driver needs to obtain the PTP clock's phc_index in its ethtool_ops::get_ts_info(). Currently, most drivers implement this in the following ways. 1. The PTP device driver adds a custom API and exports it to the Ethernet controller driver. 2. The PTP device driver adds private data to its device structure. So the private data structure needs to be exposed to the Ethernet controller driver. When registering the ptp clock, ptp_clock_register() always saves the ptp_clock pointer to the private data of ptp_clock::dev. Therefore, as long as ptp_clock::dev is obtained, the phc_index can be obtained. So the following generic APIs can be added to the ptp driver to obtain the phc_index. 1. ptp_clock_index_by_dev(): Obtain the phc_index by the device pointer of the PTP device. 2.ptp_clock_index_by_of_node(): Obtain the phc_index by the of_node pointer of the PTP device. Also, we can add another API like ptp_clock_index_by_fwnode() to get the phc_index by fwnode of PTP device. However, this API is not used in this patch set, so it is better to add it when needed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
