Maybe it's just me, but in general I really wish someone stepped up and created a separate subsystem for all these cloud / vm clocks. They have nothing to do with PTP. In my mind PTP clocks are simple HW tickers on which we build all the time related stuff. While this driver reports the base year for the epoch and leap second status via sysfs.
Yeah, that is my feeling as well. Thanks, Richard
