Re: [PATCH] igc: optimize igc_ptp_systim_to_hwtstamp()

From: Tom Rix <trix@redhat.com>

Static analysis reports this representative problem
igc_ptp.c:676:3: warning: The left operand of '+' is a garbage value
                ktime_add_ns(shhwtstamps.hwtstamp, adjust);
                ^            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The issue is flagged because the setting of shhwtstamps is
in igc_ptp_systim_to_hwtstamp() it is set only in one path through
this switch.

	switch (adapter->hw.mac.type) {
	case igc_i225:
		memset(hwtstamps, 0, sizeof(*hwtstamps));
		/* Upper 32 bits contain s, lower 32 bits contain ns.
*/
		hwtstamps->hwtstamp = ktime_set(systim >> 32,
						systim & 0xFFFFFFFF);
		break;
	default:
		break;
	}

Changing the memset the a caller initialization is a small
optimization
and will resolve uninitialized use issue.

A switch statement with one case is overkill, convert to an if
statement.

This function is small and only called once, change to inline for an
expected small runtime and size improvement.
