TSN provides a mechanism to create reliable, jitter-free, low latency
guaranteed bandwidth links over a local network. It does this by
reserving a path through the network. Support for TSN must be found in
both the NIC as well as in the network itself.
This adds required hooks into netdev_ops so that the core TSN driver can
use this when configuring a new NIC or setting up a new link.

+ Select this if you want to enable TSN on capable interfaces.
+
+ TSN allows you to set up deterministic links on your LAN (only
+ L2 is currently supported). Once loaded, the driver will probe
+ all available interfaces if they are capable of supporting TSN
+ links.
+
+ Once loaded, a directory in configfs called tsn/ will expose
+ the capable NICs and allow userspace to create
+ links. Userspace must provide us with a StreamID as well as
+ reserving bandwidth through the network and once this is done,
+ a new link can be created by issuing a mkdir() in configfs and
+ updating the attributes for the new link.
+
+ TSN itself does not produce nor consume data, it is dependent
+ upon 'shims' doing this, which can be virtually anything. ALSA
+ is a good candidate.
+
+ For more information, refer to the TSN-documentation in the
+ kernel documentation repository.
+
+ The resulting module will be called 'tsn'
+
+ If unsure, say N.
