Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

There is one place where we cannot avoid accessing driver data, and that is 2-step PTP TX timestamping, since the switch wants us to provide a timestamp request ID through the injection header, which naturally must come from a sequence number kept by the driver (it is generated by the .port_txtstamp method prior to the tagger's xmit). However, since other drivers like dsa_loop do not claim PTP support anyway, the DSA_SKB_CB(skb)->clone will always be NULL anyway, so if we move all PTP-related dereferences of struct ocelot and struct ocelot_port into a separate function, we can effectively ensure that this is dead code when the ocelot tagger is attached to non-ocelot switches, and the stateful portion of the tagger is more self-contained.
