Richard Cochran 93e9ad9850 ptp: Fix documentation to match code.
Ever since commit 3a06c7ac24 ("posix-clocks: Remove interval timer
facility and mmap/fasync callbacks") the possibility of PHC based
posix timers has been removed.  In addition it will probably never
make sense to implement this functionality.

This patch removes the misleading text which seems to suggest that
posix timers for PHC devices will ever be a thing.

Richard Cochran d94ba80ebb ptp: Added a brand new class driver for ptp clocks.
This patch adds an infrastructure for hardware clocks that implement
IEEE 1588, the Precision Time Protocol (PTP). A class driver offers a
registration method to particular hardware clock drivers. Each clock is
presented as a standard POSIX clock.

The ancillary clock features are exposed in two different ways, via
the sysfs and by a character device.
