[ Upstream commit 8db3d514e96715c897fe793c4d5fc0fd86aca517 ]
Any change to the hardware timestamps configuration triggers nic restart, which breaks transmition and reception of network packets for a while. But there is no need to fully restart the device because while configuring hardware timestamps. The code for changing configuration runs after all of the initialisation, when the NIC is actually up and running. This patch changes the code that ioctl will only update configuration registers and will not trigger carrier status change, but in case of timestamps for all rx packetes it fallbacks to close()/open() sequnce because of synchronization issues in the hardware. Tested on BCM57504.
