Unfortunately the stack does not implement simultaneous MAC + PHY time
stamping.  If your board has both, then you make the choice to use the
PHY by selecting NETWORK_PHY_TIMESTAMPING at kernel compile time.

(Also some MAC drivers do not defer to the PHY properly.  Sometimes
you can work around that by de-selecting the MAC's PTP function in the
Kconfig if possible, but otherwise you need to patch the MAC driver.)

To do this at run time would require quite some work, I expect.

Thanks,
Richard
