In this case neither is a more general filter of the other. If
V2_L4_SYNC is already selected, only the following filters could be
selected on the macvlan interface:

	HWTSTAMP_FILTER_PTP_V2_L4_SYNC,
	HWTSTAMP_FILTER_PTP_V2_L4_EVENT,
	HWTSTAMP_FILTER_PTP_V2_SYNC,
	HWTSTAMP_FILTER_PTP_V2_EVENT,
	HWTSTAMP_FILTER_ALL,

I think one way to check this would be to assign each filter a
(16-bit?) value where the individual bits correspond to the message
types and the newly selected filter would have to contain all bits of
the old one.

Yes, but it has to be specific to packets with TX timestamp requested.
From what I have seen, TX timestamping may start to fail at just few
tens of thousands of packets per second.
