21f95a88ea docs: networking: Use netif_rx().
Since commit
   baebdf48c3 ("net: dev: Makes sure netif_rx() can be invoked in any context.")

the function netif_rx() can be used in preemptible/thread context as
well as in interrupt context.

Use netif_rx().

a9725e1d39 docs: networking: replace skb_hwtstamp_tx with skb_tstamp_tx
Tiny doc fix. The hardware transmit function was called skb_tstamp_tx
from its introduction in commit ac45f602ee ("net: infrastructure for
hardware time stamping") in the same series as this documentation.

Fixes: cb9eff0978 ("net: new user space API for time stamping of incoming and outgoing packets")

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.

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

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:
