I understand that you don't want to spend a lifetime on this, but I see
that there are more drivers which you did not touch.

is_sync() in drivers/net/phy/dp83640.c can be made to
	return ptp_get_msgtype(hdr, type) == PTP_MSGTYPE_SYNC;

this can be removed from drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/spectrum_ptp.h:
enum {
	MLXSW_SP_PTP_MESSAGE_TYPE_SYNC,
	MLXSW_SP_PTP_MESSAGE_TYPE_DELAY_REQ,
	MLXSW_SP_PTP_MESSAGE_TYPE_PDELAY_REQ,
	MLXSW_SP_PTP_MESSAGE_TYPE_PDELAY_RESP,
};

Either way, this can also be applied as-is, since there's nothing wrong
with it.
