Subject: [patch V2 10/25] timekeeping: Add system_counterval_t to struct system_device_crosststamp

From: Thomas Gleixner <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 29 May 2026 22:00:28 +0200

From: Thomas Gleixner <[email-masked]>

An upcoming extension to the PTP IOCTL requires to return the system counter
value and the clocksource ID to user space. get_device_system_crosststamp() has
this information already.

Extend struct system_device_crosststamp with a system_counterval_t member
and fill in the data.
