I guess I'd need to update my kernel config sometime. At the
moment I just have a basic one, as there is still so much stuff
missing for the lan9668. So I haven't come around testing anything
else. As I said, I just noticed because my rootfs happens to have
linuxptp started by default.

Ok, I can say, I don't see the error message anymore. Haven't tested
PTP though. I'd need to setup it up first.

Does it also work out of the box with the following patch if
the interface is part of a bridge or do you still have to do
the tc magic from above?
