PTP-optimization code upstreamed

Hi,
Together with Maciej Machnikowski [off-list ref]
[off-list ref] and Milena Olech [off-list ref] we would
like to inform you, that the source code of the script used to prepare the
Netdev 0x15 presentation called “Precision Time Protocol optimization
using genetic algorithm” [0] was recently open sourced. The developed
framework provides an easy-to-use automated methodology of tuning the
Proportional-Integral controller embedded in the linuxptp project. In our
research we’ve reached up to 32% smaller mean squared error returned by
phc2sys test (comparing to default PI controller settings).

The code is available under this link [1] along with a short
documentation. A NIC and a driver that supports 1588 is required to run
this test efficiently. All contributions will be considered for acceptance
through pull requests. Do not hesitate to contact us in case of any
questions or concerns.

The process for contributing to upstream kernel is very well documented.
Links to github is useful, but does not start the upstream process.
