I was hoping that there was already a subsystem in the kernel that could be extended to work with this driver. If all that is needed is to pass more fields of the existing timex to ptp drivers, that should be fairly easy to do. We also have some padding bytes available in struct timex in case some extra data needs to be passed, or we could add another clock_* system call if it's absolutely required to have another entry into the driver, and connect that through struct k_clock and posix_clock_operations(). I would hope we don't even need that.
