3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ben Hutchings <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 35f9a7a380728a94d417e5824a866f969423ac83 ]

In case of a flood of PTP packets, the timestamp peripheral and MC
firmware on the SFN[56]322F boards may not be able to provide
timestamp events for all packets.  Don't complain too much about this.

Fixes: 7c236c43b838 ('sfc: Add support for IEEE-1588 PTP')
