From: Hubert Feurstein <h.feurstein@gmail.com>

In order to improve the synchronisation precision of phc2sys (from
the linuxptp project) for devices like switches which are attached
to the MDIO bus, it is necessary the get the system timestamps as
close as possible to the access which causes the PTP timestamp
register to be snapshotted in the switch hardware. Usually this is
triggered by an MDIO write access, the snapshotted timestamp is then
transferred by several MDIO reads.

This patch adds the required infrastructure to solve the problem described
above.

Changes in v2:
 - Removed mdiobus_write_sts as there was no user
 - Removed ptp_sts_supported-boolean and introduced flags instead
