This protocol is not the PTP.  It just isn't.  Don't pretend that it is.

No, I don't think so.

Don't even try that.

Write a program that understands your unique device and protocol.

Let the program configure ptp4l and ts2phc based on the result of the
unique protocol.

There is the management interface from the IEEE 1588 standard.  Your
program can use that directly or call out to the pmc program.

Thanks,
