Ah indeed, quite the opposite then.

Yes makes sense indeed.

Can you take a look at the sashiko-reported issues, it spots that this
could interfere with the timestamping on agilex5 (another XGMAC platform) :

https://netdev-ai.bots.linux.dev/sashiko/#/patchset/20260810100221.9166-1-zxyan0222%40gmail.com

Maybe there's some stuff that could be made more generic by moving them out
of the socfpga code and putting it in the more generic timestamping code ?

I don't have any xgmac boards to verify sashiko's claim though.
