Hi,

I'm also using custom non-portable management option to query the servo(s) 
state in my setup. What is more, I've added not only 'get but also 'set' option 
and my phc2sys sends its servo state to ptp4l and you can check both servos 
status with just one query.
You may also check this thread: 
https://sourceforge.net/p/linuxptp/mailman/message/37414815/ (servo: allows 
servo state transition back from S3 to S2) where we discussed possibility to 
change servo state back to S2 (can potentially cause some issues).

Cheers,
Pawel
