Load i2c-dev via MachineConfig to expose /dev/i2c-* device nodes on both master and worker nodes. This allows linuxptp-daemon to query the Microchip precision timing oscillator (OCXO) over the system I2C bus on Intel GNRD (Granite Rapids D) platforms during PTP initialization, enabling correct holdover parameter determination.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds master and worker OpenShift MachineConfigs that load the i2c-dev kernel module. It adds a generator, includes the manifests in install-time extras, and updates reference metadata and comparison configuration.

Changes

I²C device enablement

Layer / File(s) Summary
MachineConfig generation and manifests
telco-ran/install/extra-manifests-builder/99-enable-i2c-dev/build.sh, telco-ran/install/clusterinstance/extra-manifests/99-enable-i2c-dev-*.yaml, telco-ran/configuration/kube-compare-reference/machine-config/enable-i2c-dev/*.yaml
The generator creates role-specific MachineConfigs. The master and worker manifests create /etc/modules-load.d/i2c-dev.conf with i2c-dev content and mode 0644.
Installation and comparison wiring

The manifests are added to install-time generation, reference metadata, comparison pairs, and ignore entries.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to acfe6

This change enables i2c-dev loading on master and worker nodes so PTP initialization can access the OCXO. The generated MachineConfigs use valid names and are wired into the installation manifests, with no current merge-blocking risk identified.
