Please also consider that there might be one switch with a shared
PHC and multiple PHYs, each with its own PHC. In this case, it is a
property of the board wether PHY timestamping actually works, because
it will need some kind of synchronization between all the PHYs. Whereas
the MAC timestamping just works. Or we dodge that problem now and these
kind of drivers might not use PHY timestamping. But AFAIK microchip is
working on PHY timestamping for their quad PHYs which are used together
with a LAN9668 switch.
