# PTP clock support configuration

menu "PTP clock support"

config CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK
	tristate "PTP clock support"
	depends on CONFIG_NET && CONFIG_POSIX_TIMERS
	select CONFIG_PPS
	select CONFIG_NET_PTP_CLASSIFY
	help
	  The IEEE 1588 standard defines a method to precisely
	  synchronize distributed clocks over Ethernet networks. The
	  standard defines a Precision Time Protocol (PTP), which can
	  be used to achieve synchronization within a few dozen
	  microseconds. In addition, with the help of special hardware
	  time stamping units, it can be possible to achieve
	  synchronization to within a few hundred nanoseconds.

	  This driver adds support for PTP clocks as character
	  devices. If you want to use a PTP clock, then you should
	  also enable at least one clock driver as well.

	  To compile this driver as a module, choose CONFIG_M here: the module
	  will be called ptp.

config CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK_GIANFAR
	tristate "Freescale eTSEC as PTP clock"
	depends on CONFIG_GIANFAR
	depends on CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK
	default y
	help
	  This driver adds support for using the eTSEC as a PTP
	  clock. This clock is only useful if your PTP programs are
	  getting hardware time stamps on the PTP Ethernet packets
	  using the SO_TIMESTAMPING API.

	  To compile this driver as a module, choose CONFIG_M here: the module
	  will be called gianfar_ptp.

config CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK_IXP46X
	tristate "Intel IXP46x as PTP clock"
	depends on CONFIG_IXP4XX_ETH
	depends on CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK
	default y
	help
	  This driver adds support for using the IXP46X as a PTP
	  clock. This clock is only useful if your PTP programs are
	  getting hardware time stamps on the PTP Ethernet packets
	  using the SO_TIMESTAMPING API.

	  To compile this driver as a module, choose CONFIG_M here: the module
	  will be called ptp_ixp46x.

comment "Enable PHYLIB and NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING to see the additional clocks."
	depends on CONFIG_PHYLIB=n || CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING=n

config CONFIG_DP83640_PHY
	tristate "Driver for the National Semiconductor DP83640 PHYTER"
	depends on CONFIG_NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING
	depends on CONFIG_PHYLIB
	depends on CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK
	---help---
	  Supports the DP83640 PHYTER with IEEE 1588 features.

	  This driver adds support for using the DP83640 as a PTP
	  clock. This clock is only useful if your PTP programs are
	  getting hardware time stamps on the PTP Ethernet packets
	  using the SO_TIMESTAMPING API.

	  In order for this to work, your CONFIG_MAC driver must also
	  implement the skb_tx_timestamp() function.

config CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK_PCH
	tristate "Intel PCH EG20T as PTP clock"
	depends on CONFIG_X86_32 || CONFIG_COMPILE_TEST
	depends on CONFIG_HAS_IOMEM && CONFIG_NET
	imply CONFIG_PTP_1588_CLOCK
	help
	  This driver adds support for using the PCH EG20T as a PTP
	  clock. The hardware supports time stamping of PTP packets
	  when using the end-to-end delay (E2E) mechansim. The peer
	  delay mechansim (P2P) is not supported.

	  This clock is only useful if your PTP programs are getting
	  hardware time stamps on the PTP Ethernet packets using the
	  SO_TIMESTAMPING API.

	  To compile this driver as a module, choose CONFIG_M here: the module
	  will be called ptp_pch.
