| 15 | The IEEE 1588 standard defines a method to precisely |
| 16 | synchronize distributed clocks over Ethernet networks. The |
| 17 | standard defines a Precision Time Protocol (PTP), which can |
| 18 | be used to achieve synchronization within a few dozen |
| 19 | microseconds. In addition, with the help of special hardware |
| 20 | time stamping units, it can be possible to achieve |
| 21 | synchronization to within a few hundred nanoseconds. |

| 23 | This driver adds support for PTP clocks as character |
| 24 | devices. If you want to use a PTP clock, then you should |
| 25 | also enable at least one clock driver as well. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module |
| 28 | will be called ptp. |

| 65 | Supports the DP83640 PHYTER with IEEE 1588 features. |
| 66 | |
| 67 | This driver adds support for using the DP83640 as a PTP |
| 68 | clock. This clock is only useful if your PTP programs are |
| 69 | getting hardware time stamps on the PTP Ethernet packets |

| 72 | In order for this to work, your MAC driver must also |
| 73 | implement the skb_tx_timetamp() function. |
