The cn10k hardware ptp timestamp format has been modified primarily to support 1-step ptp clock. The 64-bit timestamp used by hardware is split into two 32-bit fields, the upper one holds seconds, the lower one nanoseconds. A new register (PTP_CLOCK_SEC) has been added that returns the current seconds value. The nanoseconds register PTP_CLOCK_HI resets after every second. The cn10k RPM block provides Rx/Tx timestamps to the NIX block using the new timestamp format. The software can read the current timestamp in nanoseconds by reading both PTP_CLOCK_SEC & PTP_CLOCK_HI registers. This patch provides support for new timestamp format.

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.
