I got confused with the review comments like Is this bit required for
p2p 1 step timestamping and also because this bit is mentioned reserved
in datasheet for KSZ9563.
When the 802.1AS bit is set in PTP_MSG_CONF1 register, it forwards all
the PTP frames to cpu port and not to other ports.
Since, the 2 step timestamping does not work in KSZ9563, this bit is
made as reserved in the datasheet.
I will revert the changes back to setting 802.1AS bit and add
appropriate comment in the code/commit description.
