Merge tag 'timers-ptp-2024-03-10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull clocksource updates from Thomas Gleixner:
 "Updates for timekeeping and PTP core.

  The cross-timestamp mechanism which allows to correlate hardware
  clocks uses clocksource pointers for describing the correlation.

  That's suboptimal as drivers need to obtain the pointer, which
  requires needless exports and exposing internals. This can all be
  completely avoided by assigning clocksource IDs and using them for
  describing the correlated clock source.

  So this adds clocksource IDs to all clocksources in the tree which can
  be exposed to this mechanism and removes the pointer and now needless
  exports.

  A related improvement for the core and the correlation handling has
  not made it this time, but is expected to get ready for the next
  round"
