When device works in real time mode, driver can skip cycles to ns translation it does today in order to provide recv/sent SKB NS TS to the stack. Real time mode does not require any changes above driver level and the synchronization to system clock will remain as is today. The mlx5e soon to support this mode. This series is needed to keep RDMA compatibility and fail QP creation for wrong mode. Thanks
