The previous removal of the PTP Tx work functionality was
incomplete as noted by Jake Keller. This removal allows
us to rely on the Tx timesync interrupt.

This patch removes a define of  I40E_PTP_TX_TIMEOUT and stats entry
for
tx_hwtstamp_timeouts, I am not sure to see how this removal allows the
driver to
rely on the Tx timesync interrupt, maybe wrong change-log?

Sorry, you are correct it was change-log mistake.  This was follow on to
the previous:

    i40e: remove ptp_tx_work timestamp work item

which implemented the work to allow us to rely on the Tx timesync
interrupt.  This patch was just finishing up the cleanup of code which
we did not need any longer because of the conversion to the transmit
timesync interrupt.
