[PATCH 0/4] net/bnxt: ULP stats timer and PTP timestamping improvements

[Mohammad Shuab Siddique]

From: Mohammad Shuab Siddique <mohammad-shuab.siddique at broadcom.com>

This series improves PTP timestamping support and the ULP stats timer:

 - Move the ULP stats timer thread to a dedicated CPU to avoid interfering
   with DPDK worker lcores
 - Replace register-based PTP initialization on Wh+ with HWRM interface calls
 - Add HWRM-based Tx/Rx timestamp retrieval for BCM57414 (Wh+)
 - Add PTP support for BCM5760X (Thor2) including TX timestamp completions

The PTP patches carry Fixes: tags and Cc: stable at dpdk.org.

Note: this series depends on series "net/bnxt: miscellaneous bug fixes".
