Add the ice_ptp_hw.c file and some associated definitions to the ice driver folder. This file contains basic low level definitions for functions that interact with the device hardware. For now, only E810-based devices are supported. The ice hardware supports 2 major variants which have different PHYs with different procedures necessary for interacting with the device clock. Because the device captures timestamps in the PHY, each PHY has its own internal timer. The timers are synchronized in hardware by first preparing the source timer and the PHY timer shadow registers, and then issuing a synchronization command. This ensures that both the source timer and PHY timers are programmed simultaneously. The timers themselves are all driven from the same oscillator source. The functions in ice_ptp_hw.c abstract over the differences between how the PHYs in E810 are programmed vs how the PHYs in E822 devices are programmed. This series only implements E810 support, but E822 support will be added in a future change.

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.
