a76053707d dev_ioctl: split out ndo_eth_ioctl
Most users of ndo_do_ioctl are ethernet drivers that implement
the MII commands SIOCGMIIPHY/SIOCGMIIREG/SIOCSMIIREG, or hardware
timestamping with SIOCSHWTSTAMP/SIOCGHWTSTAMP.

Separate these from the few drivers that use ndo_do_ioctl to
implement SIOCBOND, SIOCBR and SIOCWANDEV commands.

This is a purely cosmetic change intended to help readers find
their way through the implementation.

d150946ed8 docs: networking: timestamping: update for DSA switches
Update timestamping doc for DSA switches to describe current
implementation accurately. On TX, the skb cloning is no longer
in DSA generic code.

5daf83846c docs: networking: timestamping: fix section title markup
This section was missed during the conversion to ReST, so convert it in the
same style as the surrounding section titles.

94d9f78f4d docs: networking: timestamping: add section for stacked PHC devices
The concept of timestamping DSA switches / Ethernet PHYs is becoming
more and more popular, however the Linux kernel timestamping code has
evolved quite organically and there's layers upon layers of new and old
code that need to work together for things to behave as expected.

Add this chapter to explain what the overall goals are.

Loosely based upon this email discussion plus some more info:
