Multi-PTP source support within a network topology has been merged,
but the hardware timestamp source is not yet exposed to users.
Currently, users only see the PTP index, which does not indicate
whether the timestamp comes from a PHY or a MAC.

Add support for reporting the hwtstamp source using a
hwtstamp-source field, alongside hwtstamp-phyindex, to describe
the origin of the hardware timestamp.

You are awesome, thank you!

Netdev maintainers,

Was there a discussion about merging this without a selftest that covers
this uapi extension? Is this considered an exception?

Thanks
