Ah, yes, I assure you that there are many more drivers doing wacky
stuff, for example sja1105 will take any RX filter that isn't NONE, and
then reports it back as PTP_V2_L2_EVENT.
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/net/dsa/sja1105/sja1105_ptp.c#L89

Somehow at this stage I don't even want to know about any other drivers,
since I might feel the urge to patch them and I don't really have the
necessary free time for that right now :D
