No, it is not inaccurate at all, it is WRONG.

This means that time stamps will be randomly associated with PTP
network packets.  To the application, the protocol will appear to
work, but the time stamp information (and thus the synchronization)
will be wrong.

To me, this is unacceptable, and I will push back on this driver
