Tested on imx8mp <-> TSN Switch <-> x86 with i225:

Before your patch:

|ptp4l -i eth0 -f configs/gPTP.cfg --summary_interval=5 -m
|ptp4l[139.274]: rms    9 max   27 freq +29264 +/-  13 delay   347 +/-   2
|ptp4l[171.279]: rms   10 max   24 freq +29257 +/-  13 delay   344 +/-   2
|ptp4l[203.283]: rms   10 max   24 freq +29254 +/-  13 delay   347 +/-   2
|ptp4l[235.288]: rms    9 max   24 freq +29255 +/-  13 delay   346 +/-   1
|ptp4l[267.292]: rms    9 max   28 freq +29257 +/-  13 delay   347 +/-   2

After:

|ptp4l -i eth0 -f configs/gPTP.cfg --summary_interval=5 -m
|ptp4l[214.186]: rms    9 max   29 freq +28868 +/-  16 delay   326 +/-   2
|ptp4l[246.190]: rms    8 max   22 freq +28902 +/-  15 delay   329 +/-   2
|ptp4l[278.194]: rms    9 max   24 freq +28930 +/-  15 delay   325 +/-   1
|ptp4l[310.199]: rms    9 max   25 freq +28956 +/-  15 delay   327 +/-   3
|ptp4l[342.203]: rms    9 max   27 freq +28977 +/-  14 delay   327 +/-   1

And the derived register values:

|[   15.864016] KURT: PTP_TS_INGR_CORR_NS: 3147483248 PTP_TS_INGR_CORR_SNS: 0
|[   15.870862] KURT: PTP_TS_EGR_CORR_NS: 400 PTP_TS_EGR_CORR_SNS: 0
|[   20.000962] KURT: PTP_TS_INGR_CORR_NS: 3147483636 PTP_TS_INGR_CORR_SNS: 0
|[   20.007809] KURT: PTP_TS_EGR_CORR_NS: 12 PTP_TS_EGR_CORR_SNS: 0

So, seems to work:

Thanks,
