Didn't we just go through this?  What constitutes a "large" offset here?
The current version seems acceptable to me:

root@rpi:~/src/rpi # time phc_ctl /dev/ptp0 -- adj 86400
phc_ctl[766492.486]: adjusted clock by 86400.000000 seconds

real    0m0.009s
user    0m0.002s
sys 0m0.007s

root@rpi:~/src/rpi # time phc_ctl /dev/ptp0 -- adj -86400
phc_ctl[766494.647]: adjusted clock by -86400.000000 seconds

real    0m0.009s
user    0m0.009s
sys 0m0.000s
