This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled commit 57103d282a874ed716f489b7b336b8d833ba43b2
Author: Thomas Gleixner <[email protected]>
Date:   Wed Sep 11 15:17:43 2024 +0200
ntp: Introduce struct ntp_data
[ Upstream commit 68f66f97c5689825012877f58df65964056d4b5d ]
All NTP data is held in static variables. That prevents the NTP code from being reuasble for non-system time timekeepers, e.g. per PTP clock timekeeping.
Introduce struct ntp_data and move tick_usec into it for a start.

I sent a backport of this change, which is a one liner:

https://lore.kernel.org/stable/878qssr16f.ffs@tglx/

There is no point to backport the whole data struct change series for that.

Thanks,

Yeah, I'll drop the series and just take your change, thanks!
