gianfar: Fix TX timestamping with a stacked DSA driver
[ Upstream commit c26a2c2ddc0115eb088873f5c309cf46b982f522 ] The driver wrongly assumes that it is the only entity that can set the SKBTX_IN_PROGRESS bit of the current skb. Therefore, in the gfar_clean_tx_ring function, where the TX timestamp is collected if necessary, the aforementioned bit is used to discriminate whether or not the TX timestamp should be delivered to the socket's error queue. But a stacked driver such as a DSA switch can also set the SKBTX_IN_PROGRESS bit, which is actually exactly what it should do in order to denote that the hardware timestamping process is undergoing. Therefore, gianfar would misinterpret the "in progress" bit as being its own, and deliver a second skb clone in the socket's error queue, completely throwing off a PTP process which is not expecting to receive it, _even though_ TX timestamping is not enabled for gianfar. There have been discussions [0] as to whether non-MAC drivers need or not to set SKBTX_IN_PROGRESS at all (whose purpose is to avoid sending 2 timestamps, a sw and a hw one, to applications which only expect one). But as of this patch, there are at least 2 PTP drivers that would break in conjunction with gianfar: the sja1105 DSA switch and the felix switch, by way of its ocelot core driver. So regardless of that conclusion, fix the gianfar driver to not do stuff based on flags set by others and not intended for it.
