3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Richard Cochran <richardcoch...@gmail.com>

commit 8028837d71ba9904b17281b40f94b93e947fbe38 upstream.

The dp83640 buffers receive time stamps from special PHY status frames,
matching them to received PTP packets in a work queue. Because the timeout
for orphaned time stamps is so long and the buffer is so small, the driver
can drop time stamps under moderate PTP traffic.

This commit fixes the issue by decreasing the timeout to (at least) one
timer tick and increasing the buffer size.
