Currently all the RX packets are timestamped and the timestamp is appended to the RX packet for processing, this reduces RX throughput. This can be optimized by timestamping packets only when the PTP messages are received.
No, you should not do this unconditionally. Instead, you need to dial the correct setting based on the hwtstamp_config in lan743x_ptp_ioctl(). Thanks, Richard
