[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/3] package: linuxptp: enhance systemd service

Hi Thomas,

The Before= and Wants=  time-sync.target is what I found in the systemd 
documentation. A time synchronization service should pull in this 
special target, so that applications needing time synchronization can 
depend on it.
Other time synchronizing services like ntpd or systemd-timesyncd use the 
same mechanism.

Cheers
Petr
