The sja1105 driver messes with the tagging protocol's state when PTP RX
timestamping is enabled/disabled. This is fundamentally necessary
because the tagger needs to know what to do when it receives a PTP
packet. If RX timestamping is enabled, then a metadata follow-up frame
is expected, and this holds the (partial) timestamp. So the tagger plays
hide-and-seek with the network stack until it also gets the metadata
frame, and then presents a single packet, the timestamped PTP packet.
But when RX timestamping isn't enabled, there is no metadata frame
expected, so the hide-and-seek game must be turned off and the packet
must be delivered right away to the network stack.
Considering this, we create a pseudo isolation by devising two tagger
methods callable by the switch: one to get the RX timestamping state,
and one to set it. Since we can't export symbols between the tagger and
the switch driver, these methods are exposed through function pointers.
After this change, the public portion of the sja1105_tagger_data
contains only function pointers.
