If phc2sys was only responsible for synchronizing the system clock to
the PHC, using BMCA to turn it or off would make sense to me.

This case would need to be handled by ptp4l. If phc2sys is doing
that, i.e. it needs a management message to get information about
ports of the PHC, I don't see how announce messages help.
