ice: avoid executing commands on other ports when driving sync
The ice hardware has a synchronization mechanism used to drive the simultaneous application of commands on both PHY ports and the source timer in the MAC. When issuing a sync via ice_ptp_exec_tmr_cmd(), the hardware will simultaneously apply the commands programmed for the main timer and each PHY port. Neither the main timer command register, nor the PHY port command registers auto clear on command execution. During the execution of a timer command intended for a single port on E822 devices, such as those used to configure a PHY during link up, the driver is not correctly clearing the previous commands. This results in unintentionally executing the last programmed command on the main timer and other PHY ports whenever performing reconfiguration on E822 ports after link up. This results in unintended side effects on other timers, depending on what command was previously programmed. To fix this, the driver must ensure that the main timer and all other PHY ports are properly initialized to perform no action. The enumeration for timer commands does not include an enumeration value for doing nothing. Introduce ICE_PTP_NOP for this purpose. When writing a timer command to hardware, leave the command bits set to zero which indicates that no operation should be performed on that port. Modify ice_ptp_one_port_cmd() to always initialize all ports. For all ports other than the one being configured, write their timer command register to ICE_PTP_NOP. This ensures that no side effect happens on the timer command. To fix this for the PHY ports, modify ice_ptp_one_port_cmd() to always initialize all other ports to ICE_PTP_NOP. This ensures that no side effects happen on the other ports. Call ice_ptp_src_cmd() with a command value if ICE_PTP_NOP in ice_sync_phy_timer_e822() and ice_start_phy_timer_e822(). With both of these changes, the driver should no longer execute a stale command on the main timer or another PHY port when reconfiguring one of the PHY ports after link up.
