In contrast to the logging, I think the pmc output is already
structured and easy to parse.

But my point was to use the actual binary management TLVs, i.e. the
messages that pmc turns into text.

Yes, it works remotely, but IEEE 1588 does not specify an
authorization model.  The ptp4l programs allows queries from the
network unconditionally, but setting (changing) any value requires
local access via UDS.  This, in turn, can be opened to remote
operators by using ssh.

The SNMP is another can of worms, and it isn't implemented here.
