You reported a 40 nanosecond phase offset.

One possible cause is path asymmetry.  The PTP assumes the Tx and Rx
transmission delays are exactly equal.  However, this is almost never
true.

Any real asymmetry results in a phase offset that is uncorrectable by
the PTP.

Because your 40 ns phase offset is very small, you might very well
have path asymmetry somewhere in your system.  For example, your PHY
might delay frames longer on Tx than on Rx.
