Support ptp physical/virtual clocks conversion via sysfs.
There will be a new attribute n_vclocks under ptp physical
clock sysfs.
- In default, the value is 0 meaning only ptp physical clock
is in use.
- Setting the value can create corresponding number of ptp
virtual clocks to use. But current physical clock is guaranteed
to stay free running.
- Setting the value back to 0 can delete virtual clocks and back
use physical clock again.
Another new attribute max_vclocks control the maximum number of
ptp vclocks.

This fixup is already in scripts/spelling.txt.
The fix in Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-ptp affects documentation of
a /sys entry: the /sys entry itself is correct.

There has been some confusion among PHC driver authors about the
intended purpose of the clock_name attribute. This patch expands the
documation in order to clarify how the clock_name field should be
understood.

This patch adds an infrastructure for hardware clocks that implement
IEEE 1588, the Precision Time Protocol (PTP). A class driver offers a
registration method to particular hardware clock drivers. Each clock is
presented as a standard POSIX clock.
The ancillary clock features are exposed in two different ways, via
the sysfs and by a character device.
