This series adds auxiliary snapshot (EXTTS) interrupt support to DWXGMAC2/DWXLGMAC2 and fixes a regression it would introduce on the Agilex5 cross-timestamp path. Patch 1 wires up a dedicated DWXGMAC2 timestamp interrupt handler. Before this change the XGMAC hwif entries used the generic stmmac_ptp ops, whose timestamp_interrupt callback read the dwmac4 offset GMAC_TIMESTAMP_STATUS (0xb20) instead of the XGMAC register at 0xd20, and XGMAC_TSIE was never enabled, so auxiliary snapshot events were never reported on XGMAC platforms. Patch 1 also unmasks XGMAC_TSIE in XGMAC_INT_DEFAULT_EN. That makes the new handler run from hardirq on every XGMAC timestamp event, which races with the Agilex5 smtg_crosststamp() poll loop: the handler clears TSIS by reading XGMAC_TIMESTAMP_STATUS before the poll loop in process context can observe it, so getcrosststamp() times out. Patch 2 fixes this by masking XGMAC_TSIE for the duration of the cross-timestamp so the handler cannot steal TSIS while smtg_crosststamp() owns the snapshot FIFO. Patch 2 has been verified on Agilex5 hardware: with both patches applied, smtg_crosststamp() no times out (no "Wait for time sync operation timeout" in dmesg) and the PTP clock registers and operates normally. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260806-dwxgmac2-timestamp-irq-v1-1-c051c79c9d90@gmail.com/ (local) v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260810100221.9166-1-zxyan0222@gmail.com/ (local) v3: - Add patch 2 to mask XGMAC_TSIE during the Agilex5 cross-timestamp, so enabling XGMAC_TSIE in patch 1 does not break getcrosststamp() on Agilex5 XGMAC (reported by the netdev sashiko review, fixed approach discussed with Maxime). - Patch 2 verified on Agilex5 by Nazim Amirul (Tested-by tag carried on patch 2).
