Title:
Need more patches to support DPLL and syncE on Bluefield 5.15 kernel
Status in linux-bluefield package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in linux-bluefield source package in Jammy:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
* intro
Synchronous Ethernet, or SyncE, is an ITU-T standard for computer networking
that facilitates the transference of clock signals over the Ethernet physical
layer. It is used to pass timing from node to node and is particularly
important for mobile networks.
The DPLL subsystem in the Linux kernel provides a general interface
for configuring devices that use any kind of Digital PLL. This
subsystem is designed to manage the clock signal synchronization of a
device with an external clock signal.
* Explain the bug(s)
Bug 2053155 already backported some patches from upstream, there are
still some more patches need to be backported.

* Brief explanation of fixes
Basic function of DPLL is not full supported. Still need backported
relevant patches.
* How to test
$ sudo ./tools/net/ynl/cli.py --spec Documentation/netlink/specs/dpll.yaml \
--dump device-get
ex:

--spec ~/netlink/specs/dpll.yaml --dump device-get
