Yup, I clearly see that, nothing worse then 7 uSec yet.

No. I noticed how the Redhat HOWTO specifies all three needed. That
should be in the linuxptp README.

Can it be worse than just plain old NTP?

Interesting...
Sadly no luck getting phc2sys to work for me on a system already
running ptp4l. I change time_stamping software to hardware and run this:
kong ~ # phc2sys -a -m -l 7
phc2sys[880.851]: PI servo: sync interval 1.000 kp 0.700 ki 0.300000
phc2sys[881.852]: reconfiguring after port state change
phc2sys[881.852]: master clock not ready, waiting...
Not sure what to do now. I wish there was a -l 8 to output the
automatic settings.
I looked at doing manual settings and go confused. Like what to set
for -M? Same as ptp4l or unique? Got my system clock off by 24 hours
and gave up...
BTW, here is what my ethtool says:
kong ~ # ethtool -T eth0
Time stamping parameters for eth0:
Capabilities:
hardware-transmit (SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_HARDWARE)
software-transmit (SOF_TIMESTAMPING_TX_SOFTWARE)
hardware-receive (SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_HARDWARE)
software-receive (SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RX_SOFTWARE)

hardware-raw-clock (SOF_TIMESTAMPING_RAW_HARDWARE)
PTP Hardware Clock: 0
Hardware Transmit Timestamp Modes:
off (HWTSTAMP_TX_OFF)
on (HWTSTAMP_TX_ON)
