[PATCH 04/12] phylib: add a way to make PHY time stamps possible.

This patch adds a new networking option to allow hardware time stamps
from PHY devices. Using PHY time stamps will still require adding two
inline function calls to each MAC driver. The CONFIG option makes these
calls safe to add, since the calls become NOOPs when the option is
disabled.
