ptp vclocks require a clock with free running time for the timecounter.
Currently only a physical clock forced to free running is supported.
If vclocks are used, then the physical clock cannot be synchronized
anymore. The synchronized time is not available in hardware in this
case. As a result, timed transmission with ETF/TAPRIO hardware support
is not possible anymore.
NAK.

I don't see why you don't simply provide two PHC instances from this
one device.

AFAICT, this series is not needed at all, as the existing API covers
this use case already.

Thanks,
Richard
