Precision Timestamping block found on Octeontx2 platform is an independent coprocessor and has internal PTP hardware clock. Once configured PTP runs independently and when a packet arrives CGX hardware block gets the current timestamp from PTP block and forwards the packet to NIX by prepending timestamp to the packet. This patch adds the pci driver for PTP block. The driver gets registered by AF driver and does initial configuration and exposes a mailbox function to read and adjust PTP hardware clock. The mailbox function is called by AF consumers like netdev drivers or userspace drivers. Since PTP being a single block in platform this driver helps in accessing PTP block by any AF consumer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
