A question has come up concerning the selection of PTP timestamping
sources within a network device.
I have the situation on a couple of devices where there are multiple
places that can do PTP timestamping:
- the PHY (slow to access, only event capture which may not be wired,
doesn't seem to synchronise well - delay of 58000, frequency changes
every second between +/-1500ppb.)
- the Ethernet MAC (fast to access, supports event capture and trigger
generation which also may not be wired, synchronises well, delay of
700, frequency changes every second +/- 40ppb.)
How do we deal with this situation - from what I can see from the
ethtool API, we have to make a choice about which to use. How do we
make that choice?
It's not a case of "just implement one" since hardware may have both
available on a particular ethernet interface or just one available.
Do we need a property to indicate whether we wish to use the PHY
or MAC PTP stamping, or something more elaborate?
