Just emphasising Jakubs point here. phylib is an implementation
detail, in that the MAC driver might be using firmware to drive its
PHY, and that firmware can do a timestamp in the PHY. The API being
defined here should be independent of the implementation details. So
it probably should be MAC_TIMESTAMPING and PHY_TIMESTAMPING, and leave
it to the driver to decide if its PHYLIB doing the actual work, or
firmware.
