The linux driver that works with the latest ptpd?

They could be used, they just haven't been.  The adjustment of the time was left up to the daemon to deal with as it's the entity that is calculating the time, skew, etc.  So it doesn't really make sense for the driver to be doing that work.

Cheers,
John
