drivers/ptp/core - API as written above drivers/ptp/virtual - all PtP drivers somehow emulating a PtP clock (like the ptp_s390 driver) drivers/ptp/net - all NIC related drivers.Well, drivers/ptp/virtual is not really good, because some drivers are for physical devices exporting PTP interface, but without NIC.
If the lack of a NIC is the differentiating property:
quoted
drivers/ptp/net - all NIC related drivers. drivers/ptp/netless - all related drivers which are not associated to a NIC.
Or
quoted
drivers/ptp/emulating - all drivers emulating a PtP clock
