Re: [PATCH net-next v4] ptp: ocp: Expose various resources on the timecard.

The OpenCompute timecard driver has additional functionality besides
a clock.  Make the following resources available:

 - The external timestamp channels (ts0/ts1)
 - devlink support for flashing and health reporting
 - GPS and MAC serial ports
 - board serial number (obtained from i2c device)

Also add watchdog functionality for when GNSS goes into holdover.

The resources are collected under a timecard class directory:

I like this user friendly grouping.
