Cool. So you had that patch queued up? What other stmmac patches do you
have queued up? :) Do you have a fix for the driver setting the PTP time
every time when SIOCSHWTSTAMP is called? This breaks the UTC-to-TAI
offset established by phc2sys and it takes a few seconds to readjust,
which is very annoying.
