menu "PTP clock support"
comment "Enable Device Drivers -> PPS to see the PTP clock options."

config PTP_1588_CLOCK
tristate "PTP clock support"
depends on EXPERIMENTAL
depends on PPS
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 M here: the module
will be called ptp.
config PTP_1588_CLOCK_GIANFAR
tristate "Freescale eTSEC as PTP clock"
depends on PTP_1588_CLOCK
depends on GIANFAR
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 M here: the module
will be called gianfar_ptp.
config PTP_1588_CLOCK_IXP46X
tristate "Intel IXP46x as PTP clock"
depends on PTP_1588_CLOCK
depends on IXP4XX_ETH
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 M here: the module
will be called ptp_ixp46x.
comment "Enable PHYLIB and NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING to see the additional clocks."
depends on PTP_1588_CLOCK && (PHYLIB=n || NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING=n)
config DP83640_PHY
tristate "Driver for the National Semiconductor DP83640 PHYTER"
depends on PTP_1588_CLOCK
depends on NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING
depends on PHYLIB
---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 MAC driver must also
implement the skb_tx_timetamp() function.
config PTP_1588_CLOCK_PCH
tristate "Intel PCH EG20T as PTP clock"
depends on PTP_1588_CLOCK
depends on PCH_GBE
help
This driver adds support for using the PCH EG20T 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 M here: the module
will be called ptp_pch.
