We can now transmit SKBs in 2 ways: 1. Via the MC (for the 7XXX series and earlier), using efx_ptp_xmit_skb_mc(). 2. Via the TX queues on the dedicated PTP channel (8XXX series and later), using efx_ptp_xmit_skb_queue(). The PTP worker thread uses the method set up at probe time. It never checked the return code from the old efx_ptp_xmit_skb(), so it now returns void. We increment the TX dropped counter of the device if the transmit fails. As a result of the probe per channel the remove gets called multiple times. Clean up efx->ptp_data properly to avoid the 2nd call blowing up.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
