This patch adds the routines for transmission of ptp packets. When the
ptp pdelay_req packet to be transmitted, it uses the deferred xmit
worker to schedule the packets.
During irq_setup, interrupt for Sync, Pdelay_req and Pdelay_rsp are
enabled. So interrupt is triggered for all three packets. But for
p2p1step, we require only time stamp of Pdelay_req packet. Hence to
avoid posting of the completion from ISR routine for Sync and
Pdelay_resp packets, ts_en flag is introduced. This controls which
packets need to processed for timestamp.
After the packet is transmitted, ISR is triggered. The time at which
packet transmitted is recorded to separate register.
This value is reconstructed to absolute time and posted to the user
application through socket error queue.
