It isn't formally abandoned, but is permanently on-hold as merging
Marvell PHY PTP support into mainline _will_ regress the superior PTP
support on the Macchiatobin platform for the reasons outlined in:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20200729220748.GW1605@shell.armlinux.org.uk/
Attempting to fix this problem was basically rejected by the PTP
maintainer, and thus we're at a deadlock over the issue, and Marvell
PHY PTP support can never be merged into mainline.
