[PATCH net-next v5 6/6] net: dsa: microchip: Disable PTP function of KSZ8463
From: Tristram.Ha
Date: Tue Jul 22 2025 - 22:28:28 EST
From: Tristram Ha <tristram.ha@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
The PTP function of KSZ8463 is on by default. However, its proprietary
way of storing timestamp directly in a reserved field inside the PTP
message header is not suitable for use with the current Linux PTP stack
implementation. It is necessary to disable the PTP function to not
interfere the normal operation of the MAC.
Note the PTP driver for KSZ switches does not work for KSZ8463 and is not
activated for it.
