Request for -stable inclusion: time stamping fix for nfp

[Guillaume Nault]

Hi David,

Can you please queue commit 46f1c52e66db
("nfp: TX time stamp packets before HW doorbell is rung") for -stable?
We got hit but this bug in the late summer. We run this fix internally
since a couple of months, but that'd be better to have it officially
backported so everyone can benefit of it.

Regards,

Guillaume

I guess this one got lost somewhere as it doesn't appear in linux-4.9.y
(other trees aren't relevant).
If that's unintentional, than can you please re-queue
46f1c52e66db ("nfp: TX time stamp packets before HW doorbell is rung")
to -stable?

Sorry for noticing so late.

I only submit patches to -stable for the two most recent active branches
which right now consists of 4.16 and 4.14 as per www.kernel.org

Adding Greg here.

Greg, apparently a backport of 46f1c52e66db is needed in 4.9 according
to the thread below. It was merged in 4.13 so 4.14 already has it.

Sorry, I didn't know precisely which branches you were actually
handling. I'll remember that for next time.
