Just for the record, here is my score card showing the current status
of TSN support in Linux.  Comments and corrections are more welcome.

Thanks,

 DNE = Does Not Exist (to my knowledge)

   (DISCLAIMER from the website:)

   It is planned to eventually include the various packet encapsulation types,
   protocol discovery daemons, libraries to convert media clocks to AVB clocks
   and vice versa, and drivers.

   This repository does not include all components required to build a full
   production AVB/TSN system (e.g. a turnkey solution to stream stored or live audio
   or video content). Some simple example applications are provided which
   illustrate the flow - but a professional Audio/Video system requires a full media stack
   - including audio and video inputs and outputs, media processing elements, and
   various graphical user interfaces. Various companies provide such integrated
   solutions.
