KSZ8463 needs to enable the Ethernet PTP detection to fire the interrupts when a timestamp is captured.Is it worth stating our expectation WRT other switches given this is a shared function (not advocating to add a condition to be clear, just document).
KSZ8464 uses the first generation of PTP engine while KSZ9477/KSZ9567 and LAN937X use the second generation. Most of their basic operations like transmitting are the same. KSZ8463 enables 1-step E2E TC operation by default while the newer switches need to enable the function manually. Because of that the PTP function in KSZ8463 is disabled after driver starts until the Linux PTP stack wants to enable the feature.
