The check originates from the initial implementation which was not based
on PTP time but on a standalone clock source. In the meantime we can now
program the PTPSCHTM register at runtime with the dynamic base time
(actually with a value that is 200 ns smaller, to avoid writing DELTA=0
in the Schedule Entry Points Parameters Table). And we also have logic
for moving the actual base time in the future of the PHC's current time
base, so the check for zero serves no purpose, since even if the user
will specify zero, that's not what will end up in the static config
table where the limitation is.

Tested using the following bash script and the tc from iproute2-next:
#!/bin/bash
set -e -u -o pipefail
NSEC_PER_SEC="1000000000"
gatemask() {
local tc_list="$1"
local mask=0
for tc in ${tc_list}; do
mask=$((${mask} | (1 << ${tc})))
done
printf "%02x" ${mask}
}
if ! systemctl is-active --quiet ptp4l; then
echo "Please start the ptp4l service"
exit
fi
now=$(phc_ctl /dev/ptp1 get | gawk '/clock time is/ { print $5; }')
# Phase-align the base time to the start of the next second.
sec=$(echo "${now}" | gawk -F. '{ print $1; }')
base_time="$(((${sec} + 1) * ${NSEC_PER_SEC}))"

The "state machine" is a workqueue invoked after each manipulation
command on the PTP clock (reset, adjust time, set time, adjust
frequency) which checks over the state of the time-aware scheduler.
So it is not monitored periodically, only in reaction to a PTP command
typically triggered from a userspace daemon (linuxptp). Otherwise there
is no reason for things to go wrong.
Now that the timecounter/cyclecounter has been replaced with hardware
operations on the PTP clock, the TAS Kconfig now depends upon PTP and
the standalone clocksource operating mode has been removed.

Sometimes it can be quite opaque even for me why the driver decided to
reset the switch. So instead of adding dump_stack() calls each time for
debugging, just add a reset reason to sja1105_static_config_reload
calls which gets printed to the console.

This qdisc offload is the closest thing to what the SJA1105 supports in
hardware for time-based egress shaping. The switch core really is built
around SAE AS6802/TTEthernet (a TTTech standard) but can be made to
operate similarly to IEEE 802.1Qbv with some constraints:
- The gate control list is a global list for all ports. There are 8
execution threads that iterate through this global list in parallel.
I don't know why 8, there are only 4 front-panel ports.
- Care must be taken by the user to make sure that two execution threads
never get to execute a GCL entry simultaneously. I created a O(n^4)
checker for this hardware limitation, prior to accepting a taprio
offload configuration as valid.
- The spec says that if a GCL entry's interval is shorter than the frame
length, you shouldn't send it (and end up in head-of-line blocking).
Well, this switch does anyway.
- The switch has no concept of ADMIN and OPER configurations. Because
it's so simple, the TAS settings are loaded through the static config
tables interface, so there isn't even place for any discussion about
'graceful switchover between ADMIN and OPER'. You just reset the
switch and upload a new OPER config.
- The switch accepts multiple time sources for the gate events. Right
now I am using the standalone clock source as opposed to PTP. So the
base time parameter doesn't really do much. Support for the PTP clock
source will be added in a future series.
