Some commercial 802.1AS switches do not feel obliged to set the two step
flag. When we try to synchronize to their apparent one step sync messages,
nothing good happens. This commit adds a global option to work around the
issue.

packets, and these do not work without changing the receive filter in
the SIOCSHWTSTAMP request.

If the new ethtool operation is supported, then use it to verify that the PHC
selected by the user is correct. If the user doesn't specify a PHC and ethtool
is supported then automatically select the PHC device.
If the user specifies a PHC device, and the ethtool operation is suppported,
automatically confirm that the PHC device requested is correct. This check is
performed for all ports, in order to verify that a boundary clock setup is
valid.
The check for PHC device validity is not done in the transport because the
only thing necessary for performing the check is the port name. Handled this
in the port_open code instead.
