The end customer being ptp4linux? At least for Marvell switches, it is
happy about everything except that the switch is a bit slow, so we
need to modify some of the time outs in the configuration file.
For example:
phc_index is returned as part of .get_ts_info() = cpsw_get_ts_info(),
so which intf should return phc_index?
It is not a 1:1 relationship. See:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/net/dsa/mv88e6xxx/hwtstamp.c#L61
All interfaces return the same index.
In fact, for a switch, having a PHC per port would be odd. That would
mean you need to sync the PHCs in order to act as a boundary clock.
PHC only one, but hw timestamping blocks are per port.
