Commit 6138e68 ("ptp: Introduce strict checking of external time stamp
options.") added the PTP_STRICT_FLAGS to the set of flags supported for the
external timestamp request ioctl.
It is only supported by PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2, as it was introduced the
introduction of the new ioctls. Further, the kernel has always set this
flag for PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2 regardless of whether or not the user requested
the behavior.
This effectively means that the flag is not useful for userspace. If the
user issues a PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST ioctl, the flag is ignored due to not being
supported on the old ioctl. If the user issues a PTP_EXTTS_REQUEST2 ioctl,
the flag will be set by the kernel regardless of whether the user set the
flag in their structure.
Add a comment documenting this behavior in the uAPI header file.
