I have tested this change with ptp4l for by setting step_window to 48 (assuming 16 packets per second)
for both 8265.2/8275.1 and they performed well.

Both of these patches assume that user space has a special
configuration that works together with the non-standard driver
behavior.

For this reason, I suggest making the new driver behavior optional,
with the default being the origin version that "just works".  In that
way, the admin/user can choose the special configuration on purpose,
and the default performance will not be degraded.

Thanks,
