Title:
Add DPLL and syncE support
Status in linux-bluefield package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in linux-bluefield source package in Jammy:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
* intro
Synchronous Ethernet, or SyncE, is an ITU-T standard for computer networking
that facilitates the transference of clock signals over the Ethernet physical
layer. It is used to pass timing from node to node and is particularly
important for mobile networks.
The DPLL subsystem in the Linux kernel provides a general interface
for configuring devices that use any kind of Digital PLL. This
subsystem is designed to manage the clock signal synchronization of a
device with an external clock signal.
* Explain the bug(s)
We need to support mlx5 SyncE feature. The following patches are needed.
[net-next,v8,0/9] Create common DPLL configuration API
[net-next,v8,1/9] dpll: documentation on DPLL subsystem interface
[net-next,v8,2/9] dpll: spec: Add Netlink spec in YAML
[net-next,v8,3/9] dpll: core: Add DPLL framework base functions
[net-next,v8,4/9] dpll: netlink: Add DPLL framework base functions
[net-next,v8,5/9] netdev: expose DPLL pin handle for netdevice
[net-next,v8,6/9] ice: add admin commands to access cgu configuration
[net-next,v8,7/9] ice: implement dpll interface to control cgu
[net-next,v8,8/9] ptp_ocp: implement DPLL ops
[net-next,v8,9/9] mlx5: Implement SyncE support using DPLL infrastructure

* Brief explanation of fixes
We identify several dependent patches, especially related to netlink gap
between current master-next.
We cherry-pick/backport series of patches related to netlink.
