By the way, how would you see the split between an unsynchronized and
a
synchronized PHC be implemented in the Linux kernel?

If you want, you can run your PHC using the linuxptp "free_running"
option.  Then, you can use the TIME_STATUS_NP management request to
use the remote time signal in your application.

I'm not an expert in kernel implementation but we have plans to discuss
possible approaches in the near future.

I don't see any need for kernel changes in this area.

Thanks,
