From 358dfb6d77c016af764c0f7007697e5f5bc322c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Takahiro Shimizu <tshimizu818@gmail.com> Date: Fri, 20 Apr 2012 18:50:34 +0000 Subject: pch_gbe: correct receive time stamp filtering This patch fixes the driver so that multicast PTP event messages can be recognized by the hardware time stamping unit. The station address register must be set according to the desired transport type.
