As I stated for patch 2, this patch will break mvpp2 PTP support,
since as soon as we bind a PHY, whether or not it supports PTP, you
will switch "selected_timestamping_layer" to be PHY mode PTP, and
direct all PTP calls to the PHY layer whether or not the PHY has
PTP support, away from the MAC layer.
