[PATCH net-next v2 0/2] sfc: Bowdlerise PTP MCDI errors

[PATCH net-next v2 0/2] sfc: Bowdlerise PTP MCDI errors

[Edward Cree]

When the NIC doesn't support PTP, probe-time MCDI commands fail in
predictable ways.  Instead of logging cryptic MCDI errors, just log that
PTP isn't supported.

v2: Hopefully stop Thunderbird mangling the patches.

  sfc: nicer log message on PTP probe fail
  sfc: suppress some MCDI error messages in PTP

[PATCH net-next 2/2] sfc: suppress some MCDI error messages in PTP

[Edward Cree]

Also, remove a needless netif_err() from efx_ptp_update_stats() - if the
 MCDI fails it'll print its own error message, we don't need another that
 adds no information.
