Most recent cards (8000 series and newer) had enough hardware support for this, but it was not enabled in the driver. The transmission of PTP packets over these protocols was already added in commit bd4a2697e5e2 ("sfc: use hardware tx timestamps for more than PTP"), but receiving them was already unsupported so synchronization didn't happen.You don't appear to Cc: the PTP maintainer. AndrewI didn't think about that, but looking at MAINTAINERS, there doesn't seem to be any. There are 2 maintainers for the drivers of the clock devices, but none for anything related to the network protocol...
