When transmitting certain PTP frames, e.g. SYNC and DELAY_REQ, the
PTP daemon, e.g. ptp4l, is polling the driver for the frame transmit
hardware timestamp. The polling will most likely timeout if the tx
coalesce is enabled due to the Interrupt-on-Completion (IC) bit is
not set in tx descriptor for those frames.
This patch will ignore the tx coalesce parameter and set the IC bit
when transmitting PTP frames which need to report out the frame
transmit hardware timestamp to user space.

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.
