Subject: Re: [PATCH net] Revert "net/mlx5: Update cyclecounter shift value to
 improve ptp free running mode precision"

Hi!

I have tested the diff, looks like it works on both CX4 and CX6 cards I have right now. Wasn't able to find CX5 to test it, but I think it's ok to publish it and wait for some other users of CX5 to test.

Best,
Vadim

Rahul's solution is also very small and already passed review, we will be
conducting some tests, share the patch with Vadim for testing and I will be
submitting it early next week.
