The power management feature in QAT 4xxx devices can disable clock sources used to implement timers. Because of that, the firmware needs to get an external reliable source of time. Add a kernel delayed work that periodically sends an event to the firmware. This is triggered every 200ms. At each execution, the driver sends a sync request to the firmware reporting the current timestamp counter value. This is a pre-requisite for enabling the heartbeat, telemetry and rate limiting features.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
