Please take another look. Excepting the last, none of your points
holds water.

The driver handles this already.

Nope, no need for interrupts, since we already have a better way to
handle this.

Did you even look at the code in my patch?

In which Linux version (or commit) did this driver appear?
I never saw it.

Yes, you are right, and it is strange that the hardware time stamps on
the external ports of the switch, and not at the host port as it
should. Of course it does present us with a problem, since we cannot
reasonably have both ports time stamping at the same time. I propose
simply using a device tree attribute to tell which port to activate.

Thanks,
