[PATCH net-next v4 0/2] net: stmmac: dwxgmac2: timestamp interrupt + Agilex5 fix

This series adds auxiliary snapshot (EXTTS) interrupt support to
DWXGMAC2/DWXLGMAC2 and fixes a regression it would introduce on the
Agilex5 cross-timestamp path.

Patch 1 wires up a dedicated DWXGMAC2 timestamp interrupt handler.
Before this change the XGMAC hwif entries used the generic stmmac_ptp
ops, whose timestamp_interrupt callback read the dwmac4 offset
GMAC_TIMESTAMP_STATUS (0xb20) instead of the XGMAC register at 0xd20,
and XGMAC_TSIE was never enabled, so auxiliary snapshot events were
never reported on XGMAC platforms.

Patch 1 also unmasks XGMAC_TSIE in XGMAC_INT_DEFAULT_EN.  That makes the
new handler run from hardirq on every XGMAC timestamp event, which races
with the Agilex5 smtg_crosststamp() poll loop: the handler clears TSIS
by reading XGMAC_TIMESTAMP_STATUS before the poll loop in process
context can observe it, so getcrosststamp() times out.  Patch 2 fixes
this by masking XGMAC_TSIE for the duration of the cross-timestamp so
the handler cannot steal TSIS while smtg_crosststamp() owns the
snapshot FIFO.

Patch 2 has been verified on Agilex5 hardware: with both patches
applied, smtg_crosststamp() no longer times out (no "Wait for time sync
operation timeout" in dmesg) and the PTP clock registers and operates
normally.

The pre-existing FIFO-pop / PTP_ACR / flags races that the automated
review raised are not specific to this series (the same shape exists in
the dwmac4 handler) and are left for a separate follow-up.
