Seems okay to me.  Bear in mind that routing the time signal through
phc2sys (and thus the Linux system time) introduces error at each step.

You need two instances.  If you were running ptp4l on both ports, then
you could use one phc2sys in "automatic" mode, but I'm afraid we have
no automatic mode for such a unique setup as yours.

Yes, you need two unit files.
