igc_configure_rx_ring() function will be called as part of XDP program
setup. If Rx hardware timestamp is enabled prio to XDP program setup,
this timestamp enablement will be overwritten when buffer size is
written into SRRCTL register.

Thus, this commit read the register value before write to SRRCTL
register. This commit is tested by using xdp_hw_metadata bpf selftest
tool. The tool enables Rx hardware timestamp and then attach XDP program
to igc driver. It will display hardware timestamp of UDP packet with
port number 9092. Below are detail of test steps and results.

Command on DUT:
  sudo ./xdp_hw_metadata <interface name>

Command on Link Partner:
  echo -n skb | nc -u -q1 <destination IPv4 addr> 9092

Result before this patch:
  skb hwtstamp is not found!

Result after this patch:
  found skb hwtstamp = 1677800973.642836757

Optionally, read PHC to confirm the values obtained are almost the same:
Command:
  sudo ./testptp -d /dev/ptp0 -g
Result:
  clock time: 1677800973.913598978 or Fri Mar  3 07:49:33 2023

Fixes: fc9df2a0b520 ("igc: Enable RX via AF_XDP zero-copy")

I have checked Foxville manual for SRRCTL (Split and Replication Receive
Control) register and below GENMASKs looks correct.

Shift due to 1 KB resolution of BSIZEPKT (manual field BSIZEPACKET)

> +#define IGC_SRRCTL_BSIZEHDRSIZE_MASK	GENMASK(13, 8)
> +#define IGC_SRRCTL_BSIZEHDRSIZE_SHIFT	2  /* Shift _left_ */

This shift is suspicious, but as you inherited it I guess it works.
I did the math, and it happens to work, knowing (from manual) value is
in 64 bytes resolution.

> +#define IGC_SRRCTL_DESCTYPE_MASK	GENMASK(27, 25)
>   #define IGC_SRRCTL_DESCTYPE_ADV_ONEBUF	0x02000000

Given you have started using GENMASK(), then I would have updated 
IGC_SRRCTL_DESCTYPE_ADV_ONEBUF to be expressed like:

  #define IGC_SRRCTL_DESCTYPE_ADV_ONEBUF 
FIELD_PREP(IGC_SRRCTL_DESCTYPE_MASK, 0x1)

Making it easier to see code is selecting:
  001b = Advanced descriptor one buffer.

And not (as I first though):
  010b = Advanced descriptor header splitting.

Ya, 1K = BIT(10), so need to shift right 10 bits.

It is in 64 = BIT(6) resolution, so need to shift right 6 bits.
But it start on 8th bit, so need to shift left 8 bits.
Thus, total = shift left 2 bits.

I dint put the explanation into the header file because it is too lengthy
and user can know from databook.

How do you feel on the necessary of explaining the shifting logic?

You are right. Using FIELD_PREP() make the code clearer. 
Thanks for your suggestion. I will submit v3 for it.

I bet the code would be easier to read if it did 'value / 1024u'.
The object code will be (much) the same.

Not everyone trying to grok the code will have the manual.
Even writing (8 - 6) will help.
Or (I think) if the value is in bits 13-8 in units of 64 then just:
	((value >> 8) & 0x1f) * 64
gcc will do a single shift right and a mask 9at some point).
You might want some defines, but if they aren't used much
just comments that refer to the names in the manual/datasheet
can be enough.

I agree. Code becomes more readable for humans and machine code will be 
the same.

Well, users usually don't have access to the databook (Programming
Interface) PDF.  Personally I have it, but I had to go though a lot of
red-tape to get it (under Red Hat NDA).

After Alexander Lobakin opened my eyes for GENMASK, FIELD_PREP and
FIELD_GET, I find that easier to read and work-with these kind of
register value manipulations, see[1] include/linux/bitfield.h.  It will
also detect if the assigned value exceeds the mask (like David code
handled via mask). (thx Alex)

So, instead of:
   srrctl |= IGC_RX_HDR_LEN << IGC_SRRCTL_BSIZEHDRSIZE_SHIFT;

I would write

   /* BSIZEHDR value in 64 bytes resolution */
   srrctl |= FIELD_PREP(IGC_SRRCTL_BSIZEHDRSIZE_MASK, (IGC_RX_HDR_LEN / 
64));

Thanks David and Jesper for the comments.
I agree to make the code more human readable.
Will refactor the code and send out v3 for review.

Thanks & Regards
