[PATCH net-next v6 1/3] dt-bindings: ptp: renesas,rcar-gen4-gptp: Add R-Car Gen4

Message-ID <[email protected]>
Add bindings for the R-Car Gen4 gPTP timer. The timer enables accurate
synchronization of the clock in the control system. The timer is
system-wide and used by different Ethernet devices on each Gen4 platform.

  - On R-Car S4 it is shared between RSWITCH and RAVB.

  - On R-Car V4H it is shared between RTSN and RAVB.

  - On R-Car V4M it is only used by RAVB.
