Hi!

This is an automated message. This series looks like a fix, but its
commit messages seem to be missing some information:

 - How the issue was discovered, e.g. hit in production, hit during
   development, syzbot report, manual code inspection, LLM or static
   analysis tool scan.

- How discovered: Patch 1 and Patch 2 were found by code inspection
  during review.  Patch 3 was found during development testing on a
  local DWXGMAC2 board: the PTP clock advertised the aux snapshot
  channels and PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST succeeded, but no PTP_CLOCK_EXTTS
  event ever arrived - inspection then showed the XGMAC hwif pointed
  at the generic stmmac_ptp ops, which read the dwmac4 offset instead
  of the XGMAC register.

 - Whether the issue was actually triggered, or is only theoretical
   (e.g. found by code inspection). If it was triggered please include
   the symptoms, like the stack trace or error messages.

- Actually triggered: the EXTTS failure of Patch 3 was hit on real
  hardware as described above.  The races fixed by Patch 1 and the
  OOB index of Patch 2 were found by inspection and have not been
  observed in isolation.

 - What hardware the change was tested on. For driver fixes please
   mention the device (and if relevant firmware version) used for
   testing, or say that the change was not tested on real hardware.

- Tested on: local DWXGMAC2 hardware (not Agilex5), for the Patch EXTTS
  issue and basic PTP operation. Agilex5 has not been tested locally.

Please do not repost the series just to address the above. Instead,
reply to this email with the missing information, so that reviewers
can take it into account. If the series needs another revision for
other reasons, please include the information in the commit messages
then.

The evaluation is done by an LLM so it may be wrong, if you think
that is the case please reply and explain.
