Vitaly Kuznetsov 4f9bac039a hv_utils: drop .getcrosststamp() support from PTP driver
Turns out that our implementation of .getcrosststamp() never actually
worked. Hyper-V is sending time samples every 5 seconds and this is
too much for get_device_system_crosststamp() as it's interpolation
algorithm (which nobody is currently using in kernel, btw) accounts
for a 'slow' device but we're not slow in Hyper-V, our time reference
is too far away.

.getcrosststamp() is not currently used, get_device_system_crosststamp()
almost always returns -EINVAL and client falls back to using PTP_SYS_OFFSET
so this patch doesn't change much. I also tried doing interpolation
manually (e.g. the same way hv_ptp_gettime() works and it turns out that
we're getting even lower quality:

This fact wasn't noticed during the initial testing of the PTP device
somehow but got revealed now. Let's just drop .getcrosststamp()
implementation for now as it doesn't seem to be suitable for us.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
