In fact we already have a "hook" to send time stamps to an external
application.
See TLV_SLAVE_RX_SYNC_TIMING_DATA and TLV_SLAVE_DELAY_TIMING_DATA_NP.
You can enable this using option:
slave_event_monitor
Specifies the address of a UNIX domain socket for event monitor-
ing. A local monitoring client bound to this address will re-
ceive SLAVE_RX_SYNC_TIMING_DATA and SLAVE_DELAY_TIMING_DATA_NP
TLVs. The default is the empty string (disabled).
Just run ptp4l with --free_running and then let your application
receive the time stamps, "manipulate" them, and then discipline the
clock. I think that covers your use case exactly.

Richard
