Looks like much better results. That is at least good for solving this
issue.

Yea, in general all you really want is HWTSTAMP_FILTER_ALL, it's a much
better implementation.

At any rate, I would love to see the full output of just ptp4l running
on the i217-LM without phc2sys and so forth interfering. Mostly I would
like to get enough information to see if we can rootcause why that
particular hardware was failing.

You might try the out of tree sourceforge module for e1000e on the Intel
e1000e sourceforge page, because it may (or may not) have bug fixes
compared to upstream. I honestly don't know what state upstream e1000e
is vs the source forge driver.
