    net: remove deprecated syststamp timestamp · 4d276eb6
    Willem de Bruijn authored
    The SO_TIMESTAMPING API defines three types of timestamps: software,
    hardware in raw format (hwtstamp) and hardware converted to system
    format (syststamp). The last has been deprecated in favor of combining
    hwtstamp with a PTP clock driver. There are no active users in the
    kernel.
    
    The option was device driver dependent. If set, but without hardware
    support, the correct behavior is to return zero in the relevant field
    in the SCM_TIMESTAMPING ancillary message. Without device drivers
    implementing the option, this field is effectively always zero.
    
    Remove the internal plumbing to dissuage new drivers from implementing
    the feature. Keep the SOF_TIMESTAMPING_SYS_HARDWARE flag, however, to
    avoid breaking existing applications that request the timestamp.
