I'm not sure if anyone is working on support for HW timestamping in
ntp. With chrony, you can test it with an experimental code in the
hwts branch of https://github.com/mlichvar/chrony.

$ ./configure --enable-debug && make
# ./chronyd -d -d 'hwtimestamp *' 'server pool.ntp.org iburst' |& grep TIMESTAMP
