This allows users to customize their system (probabil an embedded PTP switch) fully and allocate the CPU bandwidth for the driver to expedite the RX timestamps as quickly as possible. While doing this conversion, add a function to the PTP core for cancelling this kernel thread (function which I found rather strange to be missing). ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
