Previously there was no common interface for monitoring synchronization state of Digital Phase Locked Loop.

Add interface through PTP ioctl subsystem for tools, as well as sysfs human-friendly part of the interface.

enum dpll_state moved to uapi definition, it is required to have common definition of DPLL states in uapi.

This has nothing to do with PTP, right?

So why isn't it a RTNL feature instead?
