Synchronous Ethernet networks use a physical layer clock to syntonize
the frequency across different network elements.

Basic SyncE node defined in the ITU-T G.8264 consist of an Ethernet
Equipment Clock (EEC) and have the ability to synchronize to reference
frequency sources.

This patch series is a prerequisite for EEC object and adds ability
to enable recovered clocks in the physical layer of the netdev object.
Recovered clocks can be used as one of the reference signal by the EEC.

Further work is required to add the DPLL subsystem, link it to the
netdev object and create API to read the EEC DPLL state.

You missed CCing Vadim. I guess Ccing the right people may be right up
there with naming things as the hardest things in SW development..

Anyway, Vadim - do you have an ETA on the first chunk of the PLL work?
