[PATCH] net: export skb_clone_tx_timestamp

[PATCH] net: export skb_clone_tx_timestamp

[Richard Cochran]

MAC drivers compiled as modules may well want to call this function via
the skb_tx_timestamp inline function. This patch exports the function in
order to let this happen.

You can submit this patch to export this variable when you also submit
a patch to a upstream driver that makes use of this interface in such
a way.

But no sooner.
