ptp vclocks require a free running time for their timecounter. Currently only a physical clock forced to free running is supported. If vclocks are used, then the physical clock cannot be synchronized anymore. The synchronized time is not available in hardware in this case. As a result, timed transmission with TAPRIO hardware support is not possible anymore. If hardware would support a free running time additionally to the physical clock, then the physical clock does not need to be forced to free running. Thus, the physical clocks can still be synchronized while vclocks are in use. The physical clock could be used to synchronize the time domain of the TSN network and trigger TAPRIO. In parallel vclocks can be used to synchronize other time domains. Introduce support for a free running cycle counter called cycles to physical clocks. Rework ptp vclocks to use this free running cycle counter. Default implementation is based on time of physical clock. Thus, behavior of ptp vclocks based on physical clocks without free running cycle counter is identical to previous behavior.
