The stackable net devices with hwtstamping support (vlan, macvlan, bonding) only pass the hwtstamping ops to the lower (real) device. These drivers are the first that need to be converted to the new timestamping API, because if they aren't prepared to handle that, then no real device driver cannot be converted to the new API either. After studying what vlan_dev_ioctl(), macvlan_eth_ioctl() and bond_eth_ioctl() have in common, here we propose two generic implementations of ndo_hwtstamp_get() and ndo_hwtstamp_set() which can be called by those 3 drivers, with "dev" being their lower device. These helpers cover both cases, when the lower driver is converted to the new API or unconverted. We need some hacks in case of an unconverted driver, namely to stuff some pointers in struct kernel_hwtstamp_config which shouldn't have been there (since the new API isn't supposed to need it). These will be removed when all drivers will have been converted to the new API.

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.
