4.2.8-ckt5 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Eugenia Emantayev <eugenia@mellanox.com>

[ Upstream commit 31c128b66e5b28f468076e4f3ca3025c35342041 ]

Previously, the shift value used for time-stamping was constant and didn't
depend on the HW chip frequency. Change that to take the frequency into account
and calculate the maximal value in cycles per wraparound of ten seconds. This
time slot was chosen since it gives a good accuracy in time synchronization.

Algorithm for shift value calculation:
 * Round up the maximal value in cycles to nearest power of two

 * Calculate maximal multiplier by division of all 64 bits set
   to above result

 * Then, invert the function clocksource_khz2mult() to get the shift from
   maximal mult value

Fixes: ec693d47010e ('net/mlx4_en: Add HW timestamping (TS) support')
